Re: So you're telling me that...

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.
