I was listening to a guy on the radio talk about doing a side-job of going into people's homes and adjusting their LCD and Plasma TVs to work properly in their home, because he said that when TVs are shipped, they are all pre-programmed to work best in florescent lights, which is what is found in stores. But when you get the set home, you should adjust the sets to work best with the lighting you have in the room it is in. He said that not only the new TVs are like this, but regular analog sets are as well.
The radio show host was running out of time and told the guy he had five seconds to finish telling people how to fix thier own sets if he wanted to pass along a little help, and he said basically...you turn the brightness and contrast down to 0.
I tried this on my old TV, just a 13 inch set that is about 8 years old...and it works really well...the image is alot more clear and all. I may want to bring up the brightness only slightly, but the guy was right...and I was really wishing that he would have had more air time to say more about it.
I hear that there is actually an instrucitonal video out for adjusting the new HD tvs in one's home, but it is costly.
Does anyone here know how to go about this stuff the "correct" way? I mean...sure I can adjust all that with no formal schooling at all, but how will I know that I have the "exact" settings...the "perfect" look? Obviously, there is a market out there looking for people that know how to do it properly.
