> A lot of people have a terrible conception of what proper white is. Color is a perceptual phenomenon that is not independent of surroundings and is especially tricky when you're talking about emission. Just as a piece of white paper in a candle-lit room is very different to a piece of white paper outdoors in sunlight, what is perceived as white on a TV can differ greatly depending on the room it is in or even what else is displayed on-screen. Rather than insulting people's conception of what "proper white" is, perhaps consider that it's not quite as simple as you think.
