For the same reason that people buy the loudest speaker or the loudest vacuum cleaner. The general public will always choose the brighter TV.

It catches the eye. Some sets even had a demo mode. Terrible pictures.
& what do you do to choose one ? The remotes arnt there & the buttons
on the set are in an bad place thats dark. Not like the olden days where
you could easily adj for best pix.
Consumer just wants a size & whatever he is told he needs. It goes home
& never takes it out of demo. Also he may have chose the worst TV
pix wise. He has no way to know which is capable of the best pix.
The salesman dont care, he is a salesman. 99% only know what they memorized. He dont want to find the remote or move the set out so you
can get at the buttons. He never learned the world is not a colorful place
so couldnt adjust one right anyhows.
