Joe,You say "Just because showroom conditions are "horrible" doesn't mean the levels have to be jacked-up that high."
And yet, what you find is that all manufacturers TV sets are delivered with the controls "jacked up that high". The folks at BB/CC or (insert mass market retailer name here) don't touch the sets. What you see are factory settings.
With audio louder is often confused with "better", in video brighter is often confused with "better".
The goal is to sell TV sets. The average, uninformed consumer says "look how bright that picture is", glossing right over the fact that it's in exchange for color purity and contrast to name a few.
Guess who (insert mass market retailer name here) is selling to? That some average, uninformed consumer.
Ignorance == bliss.
Follow Ups:
...busy adjusting many of the larger TV sets, RP, DV, tons of 'em. Turns out he used to work for a custom AV installer, and the factory settings drive him nuts. He had done the most adjusting to the large HDTVs so the hi def pictures would look good.
Is he also going to stand by very customer so that they realize that the adjusted picture that is dimmer is BETTER than the factory default pictures that are brighter?Without education, the average consumer in Best Buy or any other mass market retailer will continue to think that a brigher picture is better.
