>>>I've been disappointed to see that HDTVs still let you (mis)adjust the color and tint even on digital signals. I was hoping the switch from NTSC to ATSC would finally put an end to those adjustments. There is absolutely no need for them since there is no way for the color to get shifted in transmission. I wonder if the factory defaults will even be correct, or if they will insist on sticking to a massively oversaturated picture?>>>
Probably just done for people's differing tastes, plus you can still be watching some old show or film on an HDTV that is faded, tinted, color normally tinted but washed out etc. from age or inferior color control on old tv shows. Not that I've ever needed to tweak my HDTV set just for that but I guess it's a legitimate argument. Plus tubes, plasmas etc can age differently in the 3 colors can't they? So wouldn't you need to possibly tweak them a little over time? Sure not as much as people needed it in 1959 or something where every channel was tinted slightly differently due to the accuracy back then in transmission, but I definitely want any set I own to be adjustable as per color...Frenchy
