I read a lot of comments here that freeze my blood, what needs to be said is that there is something called creative intent.

For those unfamiliar with the term you should watch Vincent Teoh @ HDTVTest:

Creative intent refers to the goal of displaying content on a TV precisely as the original director or colorist intended it to be seen in the studio or cinema.

A lot of work is put into this and the fact that many TVs nowadays come with terrible default settings doesn't help.

We have a whole generation who actually prefer the colors all maxed out with motion smoothing etc. turned to 11 but that's like handing the Mona Lisa to some rando down the street to improve it with crayons.

At the end of the day it's disrespectful to the creator and the artwork itself.
