Most floor sets come with over vivid factory defaults and are run through a bunch of splitters. So yes they look like ass.

Digital splitters shouldn't really make a difference. At most you should see is signal loss and compression artefacts (from chunks of a frame not decompressing)

Though if you do find a really nice looking screen as compared to others connected to the same system, theres a good chance it really is better than the others. Like my 55". The picture on it looked pretty good compared to the other ones I was looking at. The viewing angle was quite a bit better, had better brightness, and the color reproduction looked better as well. Things looked clearer and crisper.

What makes you assume that most store displays upgraded to digital splitters? I haven't checked behind sets recently but looking at the awful output sometimes it makes me wonder.

That would suck horribly if they haven't. You'd think that if their source (satellite/cable) is most likely digital, and the TVs are most definitely digital, and a digital splitter would help sales (due to better quality), why wouldn't they install a digital splitter?

But you're right, stranger things have happened.

No, working in retail both in the front end and in the back end it would be no surprise at all to see brand new equipment hooked up to old broken splitters.

Yeah, that's what I was agreeing with. I can see it happening. But it'd be incredibly stupid.

You're assuming that people who manage and run retail stores are smart, or at least not dumb. I'm suggesting your assumption might be a bit far-fetched.

Anyway.

I have a 50" TV. This is a 103" TV. I'm trying to imagine a TV twice as wide and twice as high as what I have in my living room now!

I'd have to setup split screen... My tv is already almost too large with the distance I sit from it.
