***Make sure that all of the controls are centered (brightness, contrast, color, sharpness)***Why would he want to do that? The contrast will still be set way too high.
Follow Ups:
In my experience, (30 years in the video industry, 5 video patents) centering the level controls on all displays being compared gives a good median starting point. In effect, you need to "level the playing field." Also, I have not found the contrast to be "set way too high" as this is really dependent upon ambient light conditions.It is nearly impossible to evaluate pictures equally if the individual units are not started in their "null position." IF you could feed a test signal (such as SMPTE color bars) equally to all units being tested, then you could individually adjust the sets to their "best picture" reproduction level. However, in my experience, commercial electronic sales outlets do not have this capability - and if they did, the sales staff would not understand how to use the bars to adjust the picture (contrast/brightness first, then color).
Given all of the "ifs" I've listed - starting with all controls centered seems to me to be a reasonable starting point - then again that's just my opinion. If you disagree, I would suggest that YOU give a better methodology.
you're saying about the comparisons makes sense, but I've never experienced a contrast control at mid-point that wasn't set too high.
What does your experience count for? Not much...
