That is actually _not_ to improve the picture quality on the studio
monitor, but to improve it the end product quality.

Studio equipment, be it audio or video, has only one task: reveal
problems.

Therefore it is built to narrow margins and insolent behaviour out
of margin.

You'd be surprised how many heavy-rock records have been mixed on
british speakers (mostly B&W) which, all things considered, sound
better with Vivaldi string quartets than they do with Metallica.

But if you can make your master-tape sound good on B&W, it will sound
good on a wet cardboard box.
