Thanks again! My impression of the picture after carefully using the Essentials DVD is that the brightness, contrast, and sharpness are all turned way down, and the final picture is sort of soft and dim. I decided I was not real happy with that. I will try the video again tonight, in total darkness, and sort of “cheat†over to the higher end of the scale of brightness, sharpness, and contrast.Color and tint I feel confident I can do with my own eyes, so that is not so much of an issue. If this expensive equipment the techs used can be borrowed or rented, I would like to give it a try after doing my best with the Essentials DVD. The techs charge about 100 dollars for a simple adjustment.
I feel like it would be paying someone 100 dollars to tell me if my subwoofers sound better with the phase at 180 or 0 after every change I make in my sound system. I should be able to determine that myself, and there are many other tweaks in progress.
How did you calibrate your TV finally, did you stick with the Essentials DVD, or did you hire the tech?
