Nice! Yeah, it's always an issue. It's the number 1 thing people complain to me about their HDTVs, which is awesome because it's so easy to fix. That and fucking motion smoothing, always get people saying their HDTVs make everything look 'hyper real' and 'like a Soap Opera' which isn't surprising when their sets are splicing in digital frames. My set calls it "Intelligent Frame Creation" and had it on by default like most other TVs being sold today. I still don't know why they insist on doing this

That soap opera effect drives me fucking crazy, especially since most of my friends who have it on their tv don't notice it. I've turned it off in every home I've been to.
My parents' Samsung SMART TV has apps for Netflix and HBO GO built-in, but they automatically create that effect and I have no idea how to turn it off. It annoys the fuck out of me every time I'm home because TV from the FiOS box doesn't have the effect. I should probably look deeper into the manual, there has to be a way to turn it off within the apps.
Me and a friend were trying to figure this out on a Sony TV. I think you had to go into Amazon Instant Video to change video/audio settings for Netflix. Everything falls under the "Internet TV" umbrella and only Amazon lets you adjust settings. I don't know if that's the case for all TVs. It also defaulted to that ugly sounding fake surround sound.
HDTVs always default to the worst but most noticeable settings. It's like back when the Wii U was shown off in trade shows the HDTV always lagged compared to the controller. When it released, it became clear that no one calibrated those TVs, and so you had horrible lag.
there was this one setting called shutter or something that basically makes the backlight flicker to simulate a projector. who uses this shit.
