I am not talking about this specific TV. I am talking about every time I happen to see a random TV somewhere. Both the random media shown and the post processing are terrible.
I don't doubt a random TV looks like shit. Picture quality isn't the purpose of them at most businesses. Even places that sell them rarely do more than default settings, and they also have a wide range of TVs so a lot probably still look like ass.
Why are the default settings so bad?
Because they aren't designed to give you the best picture quality, for some reason. There's a reason filmmaker mode exists, but that's not suited for everything either. But even apart from that, there are going to be slight differences between each unit that need to be accounted for.
