An LCD display device such as a television or computer monitor comprises an LCD display 10, and a photo sensor 15 for sensing the ambient lighting level within a room in which the display 10 is situated. The device further comprises an electronic circuit for analysing the video content of a picture being displayed on the display 10, and a control circuit connected to both the output of the photo sensor 15 and video analysing circuit 13. The control circuit determines the brightness of a back light 11 which illuminates the LCD display 10. The brightness of the back light is dependent on the ambient lighting levels and the video content of the picture and is varied accordingly so as to optimise the contrast of the displayed picture. <IMAGE>
