Basic ISF calibration
Mechanical focus
Lining the interior of the cabinet with Duvatyne
Geometry with grid
Mitsubishi red push fix
$525
Any thoughts on this? It seems fairly reasonable to me given the amount of work that needs to be done (7-9 hours), but I wanted to get some other opinions. Thanks.

Very reasonable price too. Lining takes the longest.
Make sure the electronic focus is there too.
Red Push fix ... make sure that they have the yeringto attenuators as well.

Sounds pretty reasonable to me. I spent $450 and didn't get either a mechanical focus or the Duvetyne lining from my ISF guy.

Kevin,
That's the best price I've seen so far. Are you paying a local ISF Tech. or does your price include travel expenses?
Thanks

Signature? I don't need no stinkin' signature.

According to him, he can fix the problem with the actual tv as opposed to getting these. (These are the devices you put on the component cables to get rid of the red, right?)
Sounds like a good deal so far. It's just too bad I have to wait until the first week in September. :)

Make sure he understands that it is red push and not a red tint that can be easilyu solved with a grayscale cal.
This gets confused far too often.

Fantastic price! I would agree with someone else who stated that electronic focus should be included. However, I don't like geometry being set with grids. The grids tend to mask too much and my experience has been that a good ISF tech. can actually do a better job without it if he has a good critical eye and is willing to take the time to do it. But all-in-all this is a great price!
