haha yeah it reminds me of when I connected my current Samsung LCD TV to my gf computer through HDMI (for reference a LE32A558)
I then setup my LCD for color & signal accuracy with sample test images

and with just my own eyes I found out that most settings had to be disabled to get a good looking image where you can read text as well as watch movies & such + get accurate human skin color & grey scales & such ...
