At the end of the day the viewer should get to see what they want to see. But in my case I usually want to see what the author had in mind, and I want my TV to respect that preference.

I have no qualms for changing it if it makes it look better for me but "what the TV manufacturer wanted users to see" is near always just.. bad

I agree that the viewer should see what they want to see, but I do think they should be made aware what it is and that they're seeing it.
