    The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers (2002)

    Can AVIA calibrate HD 1080i?

    I've just got HDTV on my XBR and been noticing that the picture is exremely bright, probably because there are a lot more lines of resolution lighting up the screen, expecially on hockey games(ice= white!). I've calibrated the set using AVIA and my DVD player, but that is 480p. Is there a...
