A guy bought a $1,500 Samsung TV 3 years ago.
He watched Netflix. He watched YouTube. He thought the picture looked fine. He assumed that's just what a TV looks like.
His friend, a home theater installer who calibrates TVs for a living, walked into his apartment and looked at the screen for 5 seconds.
"You're watching everything in demo mode. The motion smoothing is on. The eco dimmer is cutting your brightness by 40%. Your TV is taking a screenshot of your screen every 30 seconds and selling your viewing data to advertisers. And you're watching a $1,500 panel in the same picture mode Best Buy uses under fluorescent lights to make TVs pop on a showroom wall."
He changed 9 settings in 12 minutes.
The picture looked like a different television. The soap opera effect disappeared. The colors became natural. The TV stopped spying on him.
Here's every setting he changed 🧵

Brought his dad inside the ropes to caddie so he could walk the 18th hole with him at his first major championship.
His dad apparently had no idea.
Special.

I watched Kawhi Leonard get injured in the 2017 Western Conference Finals
I watched every game of the DeMar DeRozan era
I watched Keita Bates-Diop score 31 points in the final game at Staples Center
I watched the Spurs get bounced from the play-in by the Pelicans
I cried when Dejounte Murray was traded
I watched the 2022-2023, 22-60 season
I attended the Alamodome game where we broke the NBA attendance record
I was crushed when Gregg Popovich had to step away from the game not on his terms
I was crushed when Victor Wembanyama got diagnosed with season ending blood clots
And I just watched the Spurs reach the NBA Finals
