It was only $300 or so back when I got mine.

As the tech explained it to me, all the TV's come into the stored cranked way up so they'll look good in the store environment. Since the mfg's don't know which set will be picked for demo purposes, they do it to all of them at the factory.

You might try googling 'Preferred settings for _________" and put in your make/model of set. I went here: https://www.cnet.com/forums/discussions/sony-kdl-52xbr9-picture-settings-341861/
for my set just to see how the numbers compared to what the Geek set up.

I also went there to set up my wife's TV in the family room, as it had the same problem but she wasn't willing to spend the money on the Geed Squad for it. Their numbers made it reasonable to watch that TV.

Good luck as there's nothing worse than spending good money and not enjoying it.
