A-Screencapture: 9000K Calibration

This image, from an episode of "Lou Dobbs" on CNN, represents factory grayscale of a typical consumer TV set - tube or LCD/Plasma. Blue is perceived as brighter, and marketing departments conspire with company engineers to ensure their TVs out-"blue" competitors' as much as possible. What frustrates me most is just how many people either don't notice this inaccuracy, or, just accept the image as it is out of the box. After a few days looking at the correct settings, chance are they will wonder how they ever tolerated the defaults for so long!
