A lot of modern TVs are backlit and have pretty poor black levels so that the contrast between the scene and the darkness is nearly impossible to discern--everything just turns to a mush of soft gray.
The one that comes to mind immediately was one of the last battles in Game of Thrones that took place at night. I watched it at home on an old plasma (perfect black levels) and it looked absolutely beautiful and perfect, but then the twitter-verse blew up about how nobody could see the fighting because it was so dark. I watched it again on an LCD TV we had at the time and yeah, it looked like absolute ****.
When we bought a new TV with plasma not being an option we made sure to get something with localized LED backlights so that the black levels could be comparable. It makes a big difference.
