Ipsos survey on television picture quality

Ipsos was commissioned by AVForums as part of their PicturePerfect campaign to conduct a survey to discover if Britain’s television owners know how to get the best out of their displays. Key findings include:

• Half (51%) of Britain’s television owners don’t make any adjustments to their television picture after purchasing their set.
• Of those who adjusted their television pictures, only one in five (21%) followed manufacturer guidelines and only 5% used either professional services (3%), or test card patterns (2%).
