You don't really know if it matches manufacturer specs unless you test it anyways. Some reviewers do test. Look at https://www.soundandvision.com/content/vizio-pq65-f1-lcd-ultra-hdtv-review-test-bench as an example. The print magazine Home Theater which merged with that used to post the color graphs with measured vs. expected too.
In my quest to build quieter machines I've gone to Enermax power supplies with temperature sensitive fans. I also use temperature sensitive case fans. The loudest part on my workstations now is the chipset fans on the motherboards. I'm sitting at 52db from 6 inches away with the case closed.
I muted that commercial, I must be stealing

Ok, so if you don't watch and listen to every single commercial while tuned into realtime broadcasts is that stealing? Following Dvorak's logic it would seem so. If I record a show and watch a particularly entertaining commercial multiple times do I build up credit for skipping commercials later in the recording?
Even if you aren't watching the commercial the broadcasters have already been paid for it. Did VCRs kill the advertiser based revenue stream for televisions? Of course it didn't. Most people want to watch their television in realtime and don't want to hassle with recording it. As Dvorak overstates in his article, it does require effort to use a recording device.
This is the exact same mentality of studios who forcefeed you commercials at the start of a DVD with no way to skip them.

I've used versions of vi on various unixes where :x wasn't supported.
