Flat Screen conspiracy?

I don't think these people have a clue as to how to adjust a picture.They are probably left to the default settings that are setby the manufactures and don't care what they look like.Why would they bother,those are not the hot selling items.
As long as I've been associated with this hobby,the majority of people do not have a idea what picture quality is.Contrast blown all the way up...color temps in the nether regions...
CRTs can produce stunning images if one knows what to adjust.The vast majority of sets sold in the past were mal adjusted by the manufacture right out of the gate.I don't know if manufatures are doing the same with plasmas,lcds,dlps etc.Some of the plasmas look quite good.But,their contrast ratios aren't close to that of a crt.
