hey all, i've been posting in another thread (http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showthread.php?p=16708701&posted=1#post16708701) about picture problems with my samsung lcd (LNT-4061F). Stacey Spears recommended a professional cailbration.

I live in Bridgeport, WV... just under two hours south of Pittsburgh, PA. My zip code is 26330.

I just need video calibration for two hd sources. Anybody who will be travelling through my area, and can perform the celibration for me, I would be HIGHLY interested. Please PM me and let me know any and all info you can share. Thanks so much in advance!

Haven't heard anything from anybody yet. Am I in a dead zone for everybody here? Or does someone travel through this area at some point? If not, any recommendations?

thanks zach

You probably should have asked this before you hired the calibrator, but the way I would calibrate this is to calibrate the panel first using a reference device like a pattern generator. Then, I would calibrate the Onkyo's video controls/or each input device's controls, whichever offeres the flexibility I need to calibrate the input device properly to the panel. This is how it should be done.

thanks zach

If you have to tell the calibrator which sources to calibrate, you hired the wrong calibrator. Most calibrators will discuss your viewing preferences and what sources are important to you before ever starting the calibration. This need not be worked out prior to the calibration. It's part of the "overture" to the actual calibration process. More than likely, based on your answers to the calibrators inquiries, he will tell you what the most logical thing to do is. If your calibrator is not operating on that level and is looking to you for direction... that's probably not the calibrator you want working on your TV. For example - if you have 3 sources going into an AVR, most pro calibrators are going to tell you that the cable/satellite source is all over the map and there's not much you can do about it other than let the channels fall where they may (after making sure the settings are correct on the box, in the AVR and on the display) after using the settings determined by the signal generator and meter. That would then leave only 2 sources to worry about re. custom calibration after starting with the settings suggested by the signal generator and meter/software.

All the hand-wringing you are going through right now prior to a calibration is completely unnecessary and unwarranted - if you are using a good independent pro calibrator. If you are using a calibrator from a retail store, especially a "discount" retail store, you are probably going to get something less than optimum no matter what you do (based on my "following" those people and on posts made by their customers on AVS and elsewhere).

Cals are done by the scanrate, not by the input. HDMI can be different from component, also. All inputs of the same format - like HDMI - will be taken care of automatically as soon as your calibrator does the first one of them.

The receiver's built-in calibration potential is there for a DIYer and I would not touch them unless I intended to do my own calibration. If you're having a pro calibrator in to do it the best way possible, leave those receiver settings flat and let any changes be done directly on the display by the calibrator.

An Onkyo is of sufficient grade that you won't have to worry that anything will change as it goes thru the receiver, what goes in is what will come out. As long as the built-in calibration settings stay OUT of circuit, by remaining flat.

Hi people,

Another Dutch calibrator on this forum. Already some time ago registered here at AVS Forums.

My name is Arnold van Oostrum, I'm ISF & HAA certified.
My little company is called Kalibravo, my Dutch website can be found at www.kalibravo.com (http://www.kalibravo.com) and my own (new) forum at forum.kalibravo.nl (http://forum.kalibravo.nl)

I work in all areas of The Netherlands and sometimes also in the North region of Belgium.

At first I worked with Sencore equipment, but this year I made the switch to Spectracal's CalMAN, which made me the first CalMAN Professional user in the Benelux.

Nice to meet you all.

Epson 6500UB owner in the western Chicago suburbs looking for someone to come out and tune it for my 118" Carada Brilliant White screen. If you can also tune audio, that's a big plus. Recently finished my basement and has the theater in one end. Experience and knowledge of how to work with an Onkyo receiver, Samsung Blu-Ray player, Toshiba HD-DVD player, and DirecTV HD PVR would be awesome!

Anyone going to be in Northwest Jersey anytime soon? I have a Sony VPL-VW40 that needs a calibration. Thanks!

Any of you going to be in the Nashville area soon to assist with my KRP-500?

Thanks!

Nobody? :(

Where are you in Arkansas? I get to Memphis a few times a year and earlier this week I received a query from someone there. If that person is interested and you're nearby, I might be able to take care of you in November on the way to Texas.

Hi Everyone,

I just wanted to recommend Dave at Avical. He calibrated my Pioneer 6020 plasma. He was very knowledgeable and explained to me what all the settings did. I originally had my TV set to Game Mode as Movie Mode had "murky whites." Nothing just seemed to pop with Movie Mode, but after calibration those "murky whites" were gone and I'm using my TV in Movie Mode. After calibration my TV measures higher brightness (31.3 FL vs. 25FL previously) which results in better detail!

Dave was also able to change the settings so my sidebars would be black. The user menu would only allow you to choose between gray and variable sidebars.

Overall this was a great investment and I could clearly see the changes. If you live in Southern California, I would highly recommend Dave at Avical.

Hi Scott,

I'm local and at your service. My listing is on page 1 of this thread.

Thanks for the quick replies guys... seems that when I purchased the TV, BB priced reduced the TV and actually charged me for the Calibration. So I have a few days to "return" the calibration and get my money back. Ill respond here in a couple days, much appreciated!

scott - just a word of advice, bb did the same thing to me. when i went to return the calibration service they said they couldn't do it. after threatening to return the tv, and pointing out that the receipt (nor anything else i signed) said i could not return the calibration, they finally refunded the calibration. so, just be ready for an argument...good luck.

I just got back from BB, told them I did not want the calibration for my pro 151, they were quite nice and I was out of there in 10 minutes. I will have it done right after 150 hours.

I'm looking to have my Pioneer Kuro Elite PRO-111FD calibrated. It was originally calibrated by Best Buy (it came free) and I was never really satisfied with the results but I lacked the knowledge and money at the time to have it professionally done.

Right now I just notice that a lot of the time the colors are too dark for my comfort. Best Buy didn't unlock the ISF Day and Night settings either.

I don't have a lot of money to spend on a 500$ calibration but if something within my price range is offered I will jump on it in an instant!

I'm located in Lake Forest, CA. Thanks in advance!

Hello I'm a new member here. I'm looking for a Pro A/V Calibrator that could calibrate my small equipment room and all components to ISF Standards and Surround Audio calibration too; as well as to personal preferences.

I was hoping to find someone to calibrate everything by the end of this month (Nov 2009) or beginning of next month (Dec 2009) I am having no luck so far because everyone seems booked until next year. :(

My equipment in need of service is: Pioneer PRO-111FD (240hours break-in ready), Yamaha RX-V663 receiver, JBL 6.1 speakers/sub interconnected to: PS3/BluRay player, Xbox360, Motorola DCX-3400 DVR/cable.

I would really appreciate any advise or a recommendation to whom I should contact for farther assistance. Thanks, hope i posted in the correct thread.

***UPDATED: Moved Business Location to Hawaii***

Dave Harper.

I am located in Hawaii and am willing to travel to any island and anywhere, anytime, contingent upon travel expenses.

I have worked here for A/V Science as a Technical Sales Rep and ISF trained Calibrator/Installer, as a Technical Sales and Design Rep for the now defunct TAW, Inc., Instructor and Evaluator in an airborne Television and Radio Broadcast aircraft for the US Government and for NBC Affiliate WGAL-TV, Lancaster, PA. I have been in the business for over 22 years. I have done hundreds of calibrations, sales, consultations and installations.

I utilize Professional, State-of-the-Art Colorimeters, SD/HD Test Pattern Generators, Software and various other associated test equipment. Since calibrating high-end HDTV projectors and displays is as much an art as it is a science, I use my well trained eyes, hands and brain as well.

It would be better to get more hours on it and using someone who is good than being in a hurry.

Delivery on 12/6, I can run this thing for two weeks straight giving me 336 hours of break in+usage. Anytime from the 12/20-1/1 would still get me in under the return period. Do I need more hours than that?

Average Joe,

Contact Gregg Loewen at lionav.com

Is your plan to return a "calibrated" display? That seems to me like an expensive strategy. ;)

Absolutely. If I get a TV calibrated and I still don't like the picture then I will return the set. Would you keep a $2000 TV that did not meet your expectations? Last time I checked a calibration was a whole lot less than $2k. Anything else I need to justify?

My simple request has been met with more resistance than help, so thanks anyway. Maybe I was expecting too much from this forum. Apparently 300+ hours of break in isn't long enough and I should keep a $2k TV (calibrated to its best capability) that I didn't like.

Relax, I think SierraMikeBravo recommended someone to you.

Would you keep a $2000 TV that did not meet your expectations?Of course not. But I would make that determination before I spent 25% of the cost of the TV on a calibration.

No one is picking on you, but some have been surprised by your stated plan. I've been reading about calibrations for several years, and your idea is a new one to me.

I hope you're satisfied with your TV. The calibrator (Gregg Loewen) suggested to you is outstanding. If you want to check out the reports that owner's have written about his work use the link at the bottom of my post. For flat panel displays check out post # 2.

But he has a good point, HT. We all know how good Gregg Loewen is, there's nobody better out there. But if the owner doesn't think the results are good enough to keep his set after the calibration, his decision to take it back and get his money back is a good one.

Expensive, but if he really is not impressed enough with the results, it's the only game in town. I applaud his willingness to risk 1/4 of the value of his set just to find out!

TweakTV has a coverage map here http://www.tweaktv.com/who-we-are/tweaktv-geographic-coverage.html . All of these guys are at the top of their game. Some, if not all of them you probably know. They require a $50 deposit for all in home calibration reservations, but will refund up until a week before the scheduled calibration meeting. Testimonials can be found here as well http://www.tweaktv.com/forum/home-calibration-testimonials/showcat.html .

My name is Tim Huber and I am an ISF trained and certified calibrator in the greater Charlotte, NC area.

Please visit my website at WWW.AccurateHDTV.com for more information on the services we offer.

It's great to have this info, but it's inconvenient to search the thread for someone in our area.

Is there such a thing as a post editable by more than just the OP or a moderator?

Then a post could be started where all of the calibrators put there info in, say, by order of zip code.

There is a website you can look at that may be easier to follow www.isfforum.com.

Thanks to both of you

how much do you charge on average to calibrate a crt hd widescreen tv?

Hello,

I am looking for am ISF calibrator serving the Philly/South Jersey area. I have a 46'' Panny PZ85u

Thanks in advance,

Dan

how much do you charge on average to calibrate a crt hd widescreen tv?

My basic cal package on your primary scanrate for HD widescreen CRT RPTV tech is $485, but often both scanrates get done for an additional $285, total 770. No additional work needs to be done on the structural parts of the cal for those sets that convert the 480 to 540p before it ever hits the screen, so in those cases only part of the additional 285 would need to come into play.

There are extras, which I highly recommend and would be glad to discuss directly.

No pms please, for that further info. Please contact me directly -

ISF Instructor / Calibrator serving the world's need for good video pictures from within the 'Greater Metropolitan Mosquito Control District'.

From CRT to LED, projector to panel, I am equipped for all types of imaging technologies, too fussy for my own good (which works well for clients) and 1/2 hour from a major hub airport for fast response to your video emergency!

I have had the great honor of working with Pat Bradley at Runco CES & CEDIA exhibits and dealer events many times over the years and can attest that there's no one within our ISF calibrator ranks who is more well-respected, qualified or dedicated to making great pictures than Pat. Very, very highly recommended (please, just stay out of the lower Hudson Valley, the rest of the video world is yours! :D)

Mind if I ask who you put the deposit with? I know the TweakTV calibrator network takes deposits and I want to make sure it is kosher. I am a loyal Tweak fan and I know Dave works with them. Thanks

Put a deposit at www.avical.com after checking the tour dates for my area. I've been in touch with David Abrams.

Also in Milwaukee looking for a calibration for a Panasonic 54G10.
I'm happy to do a Milwaukee run as soon as sufficient work to support it is lined up. I have a client already waiting for me on the way in so if we can find a few more players I will be on my way!

I will be there at the end of the month.:)

What about extending that end of month trip to Northern NJ?

Anyone else in Northern NJ. I am 1 hour from NYC. I have a Samsung PN58B860 and I would love to see what it can truly do.

A little too late for this trip. Next time, though! :)

That depends on where in NY you're located. I'm located in Westchester and serve the lower Hudson Valley; however, I don't work in NYC (any of the five boroughs) or Long Island as the traffic, parking, tolls, taxes, etc. just aren't worth it for me. If you're located in Westchester, Rockland, Putnam, etc. send me a PM and I'll be glad to give you a quote. Otherwise, I'd suggest you contact one of the many fine ISF calibrators you'll find listed on the ISF site (Imaging Science Foundation (http://www.imagingscience.com/isf-trained.cfm)).

Kevin Miller is among the best calibrators on the planet! He's an ISF instructor and co-founder of the TweakTV (http://www.tweaktv.com) forum and he definitely works in NYC.

Here's a link (http://www.isftv.com/) to his website. Give him a call or send him an email. btw, you don't go to him, he comes to your house and calibrates your display in your room with your lighting and your associated a/v components. Good luck.
