You guys do know all they are doing is adjusting the color, brightness .... etc.

all I know is, I went to best buy and they had a demo set up showing the difference, and was night and day....

how else would they calibrate a tv without adjusting those? :crazy:

they also bring special tools to verify the colors and make adjustments necessary to get the most out of every color and to make them show true. to do it right it generally takes a couple hours.

you don't need a professional tech to come out. search google for your model plasma and type in settings, calibration, etc. go into several different forums and search by your model tv and try what others are suggesting for your tv. there are some pros on some boards that load their favorite settings, all you simply have to do is search for your model and pick different recommendations until you find one that you like.

this is what i did with my 52" samsung and it looks spectacular. i tried several different suggestion and compared them until i found one i really liked. :cheers:

Not to mention they probably detune the demo TV compared to the "calibrated" TV

Hit up user OG-Skinny on here, he knows everything about TV's. If he can't do it himself, I'm sure he knows someone that can take care of you.
