    What was different when your wega was calibrated

    Funny how you happened to responded to the post when actually I quoted you. I'm sure you know who this is :) I guess what I'm trying to say is that I'm being very sceptical about the whole thing, at the same time extremely excited , this will put my tweaking habit to rest, since wright now the...

    What was different when your wega was calibrated

    Hello fellow forumers , hehe, who here has had their direct view wega calibrated? Also in a fair amount of detail can you describe what was different after the calibration.

    Did the tv hold it's black level better then before isf calibration?

    That's too bad....Was looking forward to seeing somekind of picture comparison...there must be perhaps some sites witch have done the pictures in a "professinal manner" with correcting all the factors that you have mentioned. It's just odd that there would't be any image comparison , I mean I...

    Is This a Good Test For Proper Contrast & Brightness Settings?

    Doing the testing for contrast/black level in this manner is a good idea, we also have to keep in mind that the movie you mention for the testing , it's the one that they actually have. I got a question as well, chapter 12 in "Pitch Black" when the boy fallows Riddick who is hidden in the...

    Look no further Princetons AF3.OHD tv

    I haven't actually seen this tv . I've read online reviews and all of them say that it's basically the best you can get , looks absolutely amazing, it's a "reference" monitor , designed to spec with the help of JOE KANE. Now I thought to my self. I buy this tv , if I ever get the money and...

    Will the Sear Tech be able to fix my Wega's Uneven Brightness problem?

    That is bad news , now why wouldn't they be able to fix a problem like this. I mean, you buy this great tv then here is a problem witch you find out that even after having it looked at by a tech, you are stuck with the way you bought it. Now that's just stupid. I bought this tv last year before...

    Will the Sear Tech be able to fix my Wega's Uneven Brightness problem?

I know that the black bars are to remain black at all times.My parent's GAOO doesn't have this problem the black bars stay black at all times. Also I get this "blue line" on the left hand...

    Panasonic Gaoo, I want to perform "vertical squeeze" can the set do it?

    Also, I would like to disable red push if possible. I tweaked the set last night, it's my parents. Used AVIA. First thing I noticed was that "picture" was way too high, the pattern with vertical bars had quite a bend, the one pattern that tests the tv's power suply. So I adjusted the picture...

    I would like to know what this means. I went to the local sony store today. I asked one of the sales reps about ISF calibration if he knows anything about it.

    ISF Calibration how do I get in the "ball park" without the ISF tech??

    My Tv is a Sony Wega KV27FS12. All the points mentioned I've tried doing a "by eye" grayscale calibration. I use my monitors greyscale to do it. Looking at the monitor then at the tv. Now the computer monitor could be a little off as well. I have downloaded a few greyscale patterns for tweaking...

    Is there a significant difference to warrant a "electrostatic and mechanical focus "?
