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 🧵
@mexiace@Aaron_Torres Paraguay qualified in the Comenbol South America. Way harder than CONCACAF which the US is in. US is better and Paraguay are not that sorry. Good quality win.
@LakeShowYo Lakers need to stop trying to reload and just rebuild already. They should trade Luka for a haul of picks. They need to suck for 2 years and be in the lottery for 2 years to build it up. Lakers are years behind the Spurs and OKC.
