They are usually all playing the same program material, so ostensibly, the idea is to allow you to make one to one comparisons between individual models, but some of the units are so obviously showing overblown saturation or ultra high contrast or brightness or whatever, that it is totally meaningless.

Good point. This is why television manufacturers should make a tv that can automatically detect the best display quality for the media it happens to be playing, and then adjust to it. If you're playing a DVD, it adjusts to the best quality it can for that. If it's playing blue-ray, it changes for that. HD TV, done, etc.
