Description
Expected behavior of the wanted feature
A lot of micro LED displays, like my M2 MacBook 16 display, have totally black blacks which are extremely unnatural and distracting. The selling point of "black blacks" is, outside of OLEDs, a marketing gimmick that makes dark scenes really really weird. It should help if the video player is able to bump up the blacks a touch so the microLED displays don't create such a jarring contrast between black-black and almost-black.

Research direction
The issue does not name a file, test, or entry point. Start by locating mpv's video output and display-level handling, then determine how a user-controllable black-level adjustment could apply to microLED displays; done would mean the behavior is implemented with a clear way to enable and verify it.
