How much do stores jack up ambient lighting to sell you HDTVs?
Along with selling unknowing consumers $80 HDMI cables that they could
buy online for a few bucks, HDTV retailers other longtime scam is to boost the brightness in their stores (including on the sets themselves) to entice buyers. http://blogs.zdnet.com/home-theater/?p=1338 Neat little post! Keith http://www.eBuyHD.com

Keith http://www.eBuyHD.com I didn't understand the article. I would think that the lower the ambient lighting, the brighter the display looks. I think the bright ambient lighting is not nefarious but just to help customers from tripping.

Keith http://www.eBuyHD.com Well, I have Samsung HDTV that has 2 settings, one for stores, and the other for home. The set up directions say that the first thing you should do is to reset it for the home, because it comes set for the store. Bill
