HDTV Calibration (1 Viewer)

[Ed Brunelle]

I just got a quote for my Pioneer HD720 ..

$500 bucks from an ISF Person - seems reasonable to me...

Any Opinions?

Hello Ed,

At the very least, one should expect the following adjustments to be performed for a $500.00 calibration.

1. White balance for one scan rate (480p, 1080i, etc.)

2. User menu control adjustments

3. Overscan

4. Convergence

5. Electrostatic focus

6. Mechanical focus

7. Glare-screen removal

8. Optics cleaning

9. SVM disablement

10. Lenstriping

Good luck!

Eliab

If you're interested in having your Pioneer calibrated, you might also contact Gregg Loewen who is a video calibrator as well as a forum Administrator here. He is in your area and does offer full service calibrations. I am positive he will be price-competitive for any or all of the services listed below. He has gotten excellent reviews from some other forum members.

I had my Toshiba TW40X81 calibrated by Gregg Loewen for a great price.
He was nice enough to write up a description of his work so my lowly website could get some traffic

I too had my Toshiba 40H80 calibrated by Gregg Loewen and he did a fantastic job, click on the link Steve Dinn made in the above message.

Wow!! A fan club
Ed, I sent you an email.
Eliab, is right on the money, you can pay $500 and get nothing beside grey scale via an optical comparitor, or pay $500 and get a "full meal deal" by somebody using a color analyzer, HD signal generator, etc and performing the "extra" services as Eliab has listed.
BTW, a ISF calibration only includes grey scale adjustment and front panel controls.
