That sounds strange indeed It may depends what shows are you talking about.. How did they look before?
I do find that the 1080p or just standard hd settings for my console standard has a too big contrast setting in most games. Might be the brightness as well. I don't get hd tv so the average tv show looks worse not better on my tv if I compare it with the analog tv I used to have.
Well, it has to look appealing and be comfortable to the eyes. All the way up is too bright usually. But I think it's actually most of the time the contrast and colours that are too saturated by default. A bit weird I think, I would imagine as the developer you would like to have the settings right at the start and it's hard to believe sometimes the standard contrast it is set to is the supposed way. I can't remember having to think about this with earlier games I played on older consoles or pc.
All the way up makes games easier. Areas that are supposed to be dark and hard to see are bright as day

I've noticed that a few times - but not that often. My TV Is HD Ready (click pic') I don't think that makes it HD - but I think I know what you mean... Soap opera effect (Motion interpolation) The "video" look is a byproduct of the perceived increase in framerate due to the interpolation and is commonly referred to as the "soap opera effect", a reference to the distinctive appearance of most broadcast television soap operas, which were typically shot using less expensive 60i video rather than film. Some complain that the effect ruins the theatrical look of cinematic movies. For this reason, almost all manufacturers have built in an option to turn the feature off. Others appreciate motion interpolation as it reduces motion blur produced by camera pans and shaky cameras and thus yields better clarity of such images. The soap opera effect can also be known as "Judder adjustment" or "Judder Removal". This "video look" is created deliberately by the VidFIRE technique to restore archive television programs that only survive as film telerecordings. HDTV Motion interpolation is used in various display devices such as some HDTVs and video players, aimed at alleviating display motion blur, a common problem on LCD flat-panel displays.
If you are in the Midwest like me, Iowa, We are a little behind the times. Most are set up for 720HD not 1080, Maybe less in areas. On mine, I have to use wide/stretch a lot or its like watching a moving picture inside a black box. Only way to really adjust it in BFE where I live is run it through a PS3 and adjust screen and settings. Blu ray is bad ass if you get it hooked up correct.
You get used to it. I said the same thing when my last ex moved in and brought her hdtv. Now I have a 46" LED, bluray, HD cable, HDMI all over the fucking place.. haha. Stupid bitch got me hooked.
