That is true, but calibration using professional equipment will give a better idea of what the settings should be, and you can tweak from there.
Often, the correct settings can take a while to get used to, but once you have, they are a lot better. Backlight is often a setting that people set too high, and the reduced level seems very dim in comparison to start with, but once you have adjusted, it can give a better picture.
Most people can't afford professional calibration, so reliable review sites like HDTVTest, that do use calibration, along with forums such as AVFORUMS can be a good guide, and my first port of call, before and after buying a new TV.
