[Tig] custom TV looks

[Nichols Craig]

Who decides would probably be a committee (you know the folks designing
a horse and ending up with a camel).  The results would probably look
something like what one would expect to come from back of camel. ";^)
My TV (not a Thomson product) has all sorts of weird movie, video,
sports, and other useless settings.

Disclaimer - GVG does not sell Camels (though some employees may smoke
them).

This would be a good subject for a Master's program thesis.   Who  
decides what the SPORTS setting should be, on what criteria, in which  
market, with what kind of average viewer?.   Why should the movies  
setting be higher contrast?   When you put labels on the settings, it  
seems to me you're dumbing down the interface, like the settings on a  
boombox-type-stereo that has "Rock"  "Classical" and "Jazz" EQ  
settings.   I imagine though there must be at least one "User" or  
"Custom" preset.

Sometimes I wonder if instead of using masks in Grading to create  
vignettes, we just include with all TVs sold a plastic filter for the  
front of their set that makes a vignette?   save a lot of time in  
session.   (excuse the cynicism).
