I have the sharpness on my TV turned down as it should be. Maybe the TVs you've tried have also been setup better with the sharpness turned down.
The point would be valid if the file was designed for a single person.
But since the file was conceived as a "digital download" and the bilk of the population has anyway "tweaked" TV sets (also in Europe, not only in the US ), the problem remains.

Besides, a good source also suffers from "image improvers".
