Definitely a bad set-up. I go through this all the time at friends homes. I tell them to turn down the sharpness control which when overdone will give a "line effect" against edges.

They don't trust their own eyes. Their thinking is the higher the sharpness control is set, the sharper the picture. "Brighter is better" is another belief. Also, I tell them automatic digital noise reduction should be "off". Their response is it must be good because it's there.
Makes me want to scream!
