Kinda off subject, but I just wanted to comment on the "ISF" calibration thing that the mags such as SGHT have done on the sets they review. They never mention the cost of these services, which I understand to be $500+ a visit, plus the service should be done on a yearly (or less) basis! The recently reviewed Hitachi RPTV sets are a good example, from what I've read, it's almost mantantory to have done, to get the same performance of the sets out of the box as they did. I do understand that the test equipment the calibrator guys use is very expensive, along with extensive training which does justifiy the charges, I just feel that the mags pass it off as a simple "service call".I'm thinking I will use the Avia disc (or something similar) on my new Pioneer Elite, and let it go at that!
