Being objective, I took BoP round to a friends house, first thing I noticed was that the blackouts were black, really black. At home I can see something through the blackout even when it's full on.
The main reason for this is that his TV cost £1500 more than mine. I have to push the brightness on my HD LCD because it's just not a satisfactory image if I calibrate it 'properly'. His has a much better black than I get.
If JRHOODY told my mate to turn up his brightness he'd say thanks, where I may say turn it up? That's cheating, etc..
Not everyone here is starting from the same position, for some pushing the brightness may just get them to where you already are.
The only real way this would be a big advantage would be on a CRT TV where brightness and contrast have a much more pronounced effect.
But a CRT TV would be a disadvantage because of the resolution.
