The other day my friend was going to shop for a new TV. When I told him the advantages of Plasma, and how much better it looks than LED/LCD he was sold. He did the homework online, and opted for the 60" Samsung F8500. Good choice.
I went with him to Best Buy, they had all their Plasma tv's on display(not the one he wanted) but the four or five on display looked hideous compared to the other TV's. There was no "black Levels" as everything resembling Black was dark gray.
When the salesman approached him "Do you have any questions?" My friend who never restrains from the obvious replies "Yeah I was wondering why all your Plasma Tv's look terrible".
Salesman" Those are the factory settings from the manufacturer"
After the salesman leaves, I told my friend, this is bullshit. If anything the Plasma tv's should be schooling the rest of the televisions on display. He thought so too. "I guess they really don't want to sell the plasma tv's do they?" he said. Nope.
Anyway he went with a flat panel 4k Samsung. available for in store pickup on Wednesday. When he got home he noticed the salesman had sold him the wrong tv, as his receipt said "curved" display. He promptly returned it, and is still without a tv.
