I read in the web and forums about problems with tv sets and many times when someone finds a real indisputable problem with a set, there will always be people that will respond saying "where is it? my set doesn't have that problem!" or "I don't see it if I don't look for it, so there's no problem, the set is perfect!".
Am I the only one who finds this notion illogical and problematic?
I mean come on, display technology is extremely complex and there are many many ways to be imperfect and there is absolutely no perfect display anywhere.
When a display has problem, the problem exists, it's there, period! There is nothing argue about it, either you join the force to fix it, or you shut up, say nothing and live with it!
People are sometimes so confident with their purchase, that even if there is a gaping hole right in the center of the display, with a clown's hand sticking out giving the finger, they will say "oh, you must have very sensitive eyes, I don't see it, maybe because I don't look for it" and all of a sudden you have "sensitive eyes"! Reality check here guys, if you don't have a real known optical problem, we all have the same pair of eyes with more or less the same sensitivity, evolution took care of that.
For instance, let's take flickering. Flickering in some display technologies exists; it's there and there is nothing to talk about. When you take a non-flickering display and put it next to a flickering display suddenly everybody will see that it flickers. So was it that flickering didn't exist before, and that people somehow engaged their eye's sensitivity the moment they started the comparison? No, it's simple, it was always there! Period, end of story, finito la musica.
Another example is the Panasonic's floating blacks issue, it's there, you can measure it with a colorimeter, you can see it with you eyes, in fact it's so evident that's disturbing! People are screaming their lungs out complaining it about it. And it's in ALL 2010 models, there are no special ones that they don't have it, there are no special modes that they don't have it. It's in ALL modes, in ALL models, in ALL resolutions, in ALL configurations. But then you have people claiming that "oh thx mode doesn't have it" or "Now after xxx hours it is fixed" or "my set is special, it doesn't have it". Well let me enlighten you, it does have it, the blacks flactuate! If you "can't" see it, just take a colorimeter and measure it because it's there. Period.
Same goes for endless other issues, in all the TV sets, all brands and all models, there are problems where when people find them there will always be a stupendously long debate from people who just "don't see the clown hand sticking out the hole in the middle"!
