Chromecast Backdrop pics darker at the bottom

[Rarry]

Anyone else noticed that the 'backdrop' pictures on Chromecast are darker at the bottom? Weird 'cos it's just with backdrop, nothing else. Tried other Chromecast on other TV and that does it too, I just hadn't really noticed before. If you want to judge it, look for a snow scene as that is more likely as bright at the bottom as the top.

I downloaded some of the same pics and they local cast normally so it must be a Chromecast backdrop 'feature'.

I played around with different background settings this afternoon, and I didn't notice any discolouration. Everything was nice and crisp.

Try casting the same pic downloaded from the Chromecast app and compare. It looks quite different.

Edit: I thought to search Google images of Chromecast backdrops and many of the ones that are actual photos of screens do seem to show a shadowing effect.

Same problem here as Rarry has. Wish I knew a fix. Mine briefly looks normal at the bottom before darkening when I first get to the backdrops..
