I don't understand - you'd have to explain what you mean.

The setting doesn't change any data, it changes how a timestamp with time zone
is displayed.

It also sets the default time zone to use when a timestamp without timezone
is to be converted to a timestamp with time zone, so maybe that's what you
are observing.
