Re: So how do you like it now that it's calibrated?

I love it. I had a day or so getting used to how bright it is (came from an aging analog wide screen) but love how it accurately renders the four levels of picture I have (true Hi Def, upconverted
digital on Hi Def channels, laserdisc, and regular analog). I now realize that not much is broadcast in true high definition but that will change over time. And, as far as 5.1 Dolby Digital is concerned, a film has to HAVE 5.1 in the beginning so many of the films are actually in Pro Logic or plain old stereo, even though the DD light is showing.

One neat thing my ISF wizard did as he did on my old set was a special 5400K "warm" setting for black and white movies (I have many in my collection). This, along with the TV's 3/2 pulldown, makes watching an old classic film a special treat. (Of course, many times I forget to go back to the 6500K setting until it dawns on me that
something is not quite right).

I did do a comparison of a Hi Def broadcast of "The Road to Perdition" with my DVD played via prgessive scan and the Hi Def was definitely a noticable improvement.
