Lots of good info on this one over at avsforum... Don Stewart and Greg Rogers recommended settings are there. It comes with a program for optimizing gamma too, some are going to that level and some aren not. I don't believe your Sencore CP288 will help you with this one. Unless you want to...

In the old days, Sony Movie mode was always the one that could be calibrated for most accurate picture. I haven't worked with Pro mode but it might do as well or better based on the name alone. So do these two first and compare.

Correct.

If your Sony DVD is outputting 480p to the Tosh, set the Sony to Film mode or Auto mode. It shouldn't matter how the Tosh is set since it won't be deinterlacing the 480p input. If your Sony is outputting 480i, the setting on the Sony has no effect. Set the Tosh to Film mode or Auto mode...

Usually not necessary assuming you will be feeding the same RPTV input at the same scan rate (480i or 480p) as before; but a good idea anyway. Not all players will produce a signal that plays by all the rules. Sometimes the user controls need a little tweaking. It's also possible that the...

A decently engineered consumer CRT directview should be able to produce about 30 foot-Lamberts of luminance without blooming or distorting the geometry. Some will do more, some less. That's plenty in a dimly lit room with little or no light reflecting off the screen, and some light behind the...

Fine reply Ryan. But with respect to CRT (direct-view and RPTVs), let's remember the main reason many manufacturers set high overscan at the factory: lousy high-voltage power supply regulation. By minimizing overscan, you are increasing the amount of information getting to the viewable area...

Don't forget to factor the cost of a professional calibration into your budget. No set in this price range will produce a superb, accurate picture straight out of the box; nearly all can be made dramatically better by a skilled technician.

Steven, Dennis, Don is a fine ISF tech and comes with my highest recommendation. He did my Sharpvision 16:9 direct-view last year. He was also an assistant at the Jan 2002 ISF course where I obtained my ISF certification and has helped me a lot in getting my own calibration biz started...
