  tothe poster awaiting his 60" GWIII, I took delivery last month on the reg 60" LCD. It is frankly, stunning. It is the same basic engine as yours---you will be very pleased. I have not set it up with the VE disk--it is so good out of the box. No motion problems at all. I compared it side by side to the DLP and saw very-very subtle low light detail advantages with the DLP. But overall the DLP/LCD is still light years from CRT in low light detail. BTW, I have it set up with a vintage tube audio two channel system that is far more pleasing (to me) than 5.1 transistor thin sound with those annoying multi channel sound effects.

  You have made a wise purchase.

  If you decide on an ISF calibration ($250 - $600, depending on what you want done and the type of display), according to ISF calibrators it is recommended that the display has been used for 100 - 200 hours before the calibration is performed.

  However, calibration with DVE or any other calibration disc can and should be done as soon as you get your display. Just realize that it will go through changes during the first 100 - 200 hours and calibration with the disc should be redone.

  Here's a link to your DVE question:

    Here is a direct quote from an ISF executive (and good friend who is calibrated my new SONY digital RPTV this Friday). It was received just this morning:

    "The ISF does not recommend 100-200 hours of use before calibration, gotta love that internet, every user is an expert! Several weeks of break in will be fine."

      and the calibration industry as a whole disagrees. Calibration with a setup disc is recommended on new displays, but actual gray scale, geometry, color decoding, etc is not recommended until you have 100 - 200 hours on the display. I could give you a long list of reasons for this, but I think you'll learn more if you do the research yourself as to why.

      Take a look at www.avsforum.com and you'll find your questions answered by members who are actual ISF certified technicians.

      Here's another website that includes numerous ISF certified members: some of the most qualified and recognized in the display calibration business. Internet or not, these guys are the experts:

        I believe he speaks for the ISF as he is a charter member and is on their web site. Next to Joe Kane, he and Kevin Miller probably have the most experience in the entire country in calibration.

  I suggest you consider a professional calibration by an Imaging Science Foundation technicicn. You can only get so far with the VE
  DVD. The ISF can get your gray scale temperature as close to 6500K as possible, and that step is essential to do BEFORE any other adjustments.

  The ISF has a web site where you can find a tech in your area.
