I heard that a ISF Calibration only last for about 2 years then you have to get another one. Is this true ?

I don't know, myself. I have not even had a calibrated display for 6 months yet.You may have more available calibrators in your area. Otherwise they tend to do "tours" within a certain large area, and you are partly paying for their time and travel expenses etc. It may not cost much less for a "touch-up" because of that: still the same travel etc. that sucks up the time. Perhaps if coming to the area already for a full cal they will drop by and do a touch-up for cheaper.
I hope I didn't sound discouraging about the way the piccy looks. I just meant that it's really different from what you'll typically see in homes/bars etc. It is almost the antithesis of why many people like plasma/LCD displays, and the way they're advertised (vibrant colors, bright, sharp). If you've done your own "cal" before using a test BD/DVD, then you won't be so surprised by the look. What I really meant is the display is calibrated to a standard, and the standard may not be to your preference. Similarly, you may not happen to like the sound of a "flat" room (or a system calibrated to be flat in the room), even though most would say that is at least theoretically a good thing. But you get used to them in a short time, and it's the visitors who'll think it looks (sounds) weird.

After a display is about a year old, it is advisable to get a recalibration about once a year. Usually this is considered a "touch up" and the charge is much less than a full calibration because the tech is ajusting for drift and won't be spending hours in the Service Menu (like the initial calibration) to get things right because the preliminary work has already been done.
However, it is entirely up to you as it's your money. Some people may go 2, 3 or 5 years before they're willing to have an ISF tech come out again, some people see greater/lesser value in an ISF calibration, some displays have a greater/lesser drift than others and some people spend a greater/lesser amount of time in front of their display.
