Anyone in the Flagstaff, AZ area? Just bought a Sammy UN55D8000 and use it with an Oppo 93.

Thnx.

Well I'm back looking for a good calibrator. Unfortunatley for me DroptheRemote will not be able to get out to my area as planned.:(
So if there is anyone coming near San Antonio TX in the next few weeks.... I have a Panasonic 58V10 and a Samsung 64D7000 that are in need of some calibration loving!!! Anyone? Anyone?

Can't promise it will be quite that soon, it might be a few weeks after that, but a calibration trip is being planned to have me out to Dallas and the surrounding area as we speak.

Thanks for the info donnymac51. I looked into the one in Austin. Not many customer comments or reviews to get an idea on their work. I guess I would feel better with a seasoned veteran from the AVS forums. Someone we all know does good work. But I will look more into it. Thanks again.

You could always contact the indiviuals and ask for references. Whatever way you go good luck.

I was just in TX and will return in October.

I will be available for calibrations in the West Palm Beach, Ft. Lauderdale and Miami FL. area the weekend of 3-4 June. Contact me as soon as possible to reserve your time slot.

I am receiving a Panasonic VT30 sometime hopefully by mid June (ordered through Panasonic EPP so not sure on the ship date yet, but the rumor is for Jun 8).

I am in the South Western Denver suburbs (about 45 mins from DIA) and am looking for a calibrator who can do a full calibration of the VT30 when the new firmware arrives. I would want ISF day/night done (along with the 10 point grayscale/CMS stuff) on at least two inputs.

Anyone who might be able to help please send me a PM.

Anyone in the Baltimore / DC area (Columbia, MD to be exact) interested in calibrating a 46" XBR-HX909? Only two sources: FiOS and PS3 and zero 3D usage. Any help in the right direction would be awesome.

I purchased the 2011 Bravia KDL-40BX420 LCD and am very happy with it at sub $600. I am getting the BR S580 in a few weeks with both hooked up with the AudioQuest Cinnamon HDMI. I have tweaked and tuned and tweaked and tuned for 2 weeks using my eyesight and recommended setting from the web and I am pretty damn close but there is one thing that is bothering me. On a few HD channels the text and/or faces are pixelly (is that a word) or washed looking.

I want to know how much it would cost to get a cal but is my television worth it? I watch basically 2 things
which is Food Network and Nascar races. Thank you.

I just had someone come and resolder a chip on my kv-32hs500 for $150 because it wasnt turning on. I then paid the guy richard from arts tv an extra $50 to fix some minor geometry issus i was having. I was getting some minor ripples or speed bumps when panning horizontally. Nowfter his calibration those are gone but now there is massive speedbumps when camera pans vertically way worse than before. The fact is i could have lived with the geometry issues before this proffesional calibration but now its much worse andi can not. I called arts tv twice to complain but there not interested in fixing the problem.

I'll be glad to take over. Too bad their customer service is not up there, they are really not treating you like they should.

I have long advised not using repair people for calibration purposes, because they can make it far worse than it was before in minutes, with their ingress codes and scant knowledge of calibration. Local repair people typically know nothing of the calibration process and the various landmines contained therein, you really need a seasoned CRT-adept calibrator for that. These are becoming fewer and farther between anymore, and that isn't making it any better for CRT owners.

I am the exception, I love CRT and all it delivers, and want to keep them around indefinitely. See my Don't Dump Your CRT RPTV! thread -

http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showthread.php?t=695922&page=303

On July 6 it hit its 5th year of being here on the AVS. It just hit its 300th page and has more than 8,000 posts to date. I am not the only one around here who believes in CRT!

I will be doing primarily CRT tech - front and rear projection RPTVs and ceiling projectors - but also all the new flat panels and fixed pixel projectors.

If anyone wants to just have their CRT RPTV optics cleaned, that is being offered too. It's a great way to restore that "new set" sparkle and gleam back into your picture without having to spring for a complete CRT level calibration, which of course includes all those structural things that a normal ISF calibration does not cover.

Purchased a Panasonic Plasma 65" {TC-P65VT30} over the weekend. Expected delivery some time this week. Looking for professional calibration. I live in Willow Grove, PA (near Philadelphia).

I'm going to be in the Minneapolis-St. Paul area next week and have a couple of openings (morning and afternoon) on Wednesday, Sep 28.

If anyone in the Twin Cities area is interested in booking with me for these dates and times, you can contact me via 314-226-1705 to discuss details and arrangements.

I have a new TC-P65VT30. Just got it 3 days ago. Seems great so far but I know it can be better than out of the box and would like presets for night and day viewing, etc. Mine was manufactured in July 2011 and I've heard that some have had parts replaced and that the ones made in August and later don't need them. I don't have the specific posts to read on that and don't really know if I need it or not or what to look for. I want to do a calibration but also want to wait until it is burned in enough and have any parts replaced that are needed 1st so I don't loose settings etc and it is in it's "final" state. I have seen a few calibrators that come to VA (I'm in Waterford, outside of Leesburg in Northern, VA). Can someone chime in and say who is really good that comes to my area regularly? So far I've found (in no particular order) Chad B, Tom Huffman, and heard of D-Nice but can't find where he is yet.

Thoughts? Please send me a PM to start a conversation and get rest of contact information so we can proceed to scheduling a calibration when appropriate.

Thanks.

I live in the Toronto area and could use some help. I have a simple Sony CRT (KV-32FS120), two of them to be exact. I'd be interested in getting at least one calibrated, possibly both. I also have two main issues that I'd like corrected.

One set has convergence problems in the two left corners. Do calibrators often tinker with the magnets in the chassis?

The other set has physically broken front panel input. The buttons are broken off and the video inputs are loose and flakey. If replacement parts are available, I'd like to get that fixed.

I will be touring in Texas during mid-October, with additional dates in western Tennessee/east Arkansas, Oklahoma and Kansas City.

Sony was one of the only brands to have a set of trimpot controls in their direct views for dialing in the pic. This places Sonys head and shoulders above most brands in the capacity to straighten out and finely tune your picture. They are not the point system, which happened only on their projection sets, but they are still highly effective in dialing in the best picture possible on a direct view, whether it's HD or not. Later their 34" HDready direct view had its own set of controls in the service menu. Again, very rare in direct views.

I may have a G90 calibration coming up in Ontario. Contact me, I would be glad to dial in your Sonys and find or fabricate parts, if possible, for your second set.

I really enjoyed the detail in your explanations of what you were doing. Thanks for tweaking my PS3 as well. So glad I found a calibrator in the SoCal area. Call you again soon to do the new panel when I get it.

I have a p65vt30 that will be delivered next week. I'm looking for a reputable calibrator in the Chicago/southwest suburbs area.

I will be travelling near the Chicago area the week of the 24th of this month. Contact me via PM for details! :)

I recently purchased a Panasonic VIERA TC-P50GT30 plasma, and would like to have that, along with my full AV setup properly calibrated.

Anyone near Olney, MD who does both audio and video? This will be my Chanukah present from my very understanding wife. :)

Hey Guys, Im pretty new to the thread but have been looking through these sites and forums trying to find correct calibration settings for my d7000 Samsung and although some of the settings on here got them better, something was still off. I decided I would have my new TV professional calibrated and called up "Gotchaa" (the name he goes by in the forums) and wow, what a difference he made! He was very professional, super friendly and showed me pre and post reports and my pre reports were WAY off the mark. He took the time to explain everything he was doing, he took his time to ensure I got the best picture quality I could. He even checked movies afterwards to make sure everything looked great. I HIGHLY recommend him for anyone that needs a calibration. I live in Hollywood and he drove right over and did the whole setup. My TV looks amazing! Every panel is different it seems and although I thought I could get away with just the settings on here, it was WAY off. Give him a call if you need a pro calibration. No question.

Any of the knuckleheads here service the Syracuse, NY area ?? Seen a couple southern Ontario guy's, but nothing for central, NY..It's bad enough I have to live here for another two years, please god don't make me look at an uncalibrated picture as I do it !!!!!
Wouldn't mind having a Canadian do it as I watch lot's of hockey (Rangers fan) so I'm assuming you'd provide the best "hockey" calibration. It will account for 50% of my viewing this time of year !!!! :) seriously though..just looking for a calibrator in the CNY area. :)

I am presently in Wakefield MA, near Boston, and have someone in NY conteimplating having me over, but needs to go in with somebody else on the travel expenses. If you're interested, contact me at once -

I will flying out Tuesday to go back to CA if my work sere is done. I have done 2 major 2 day each calibrations and am taking today off. Would like to do 1 or 2 more before I go back to CA -

TweakerInWA, I no longer do calibrations in the U.S. as I prefer to stay on my side of the border. As the other guys have posted here, there are plenty of calibrators who cover those areas, be it local or by travel. I have updated my AVS profile to reflect this change. Good luck in your search.

By the way, since plasma's age over time, how long would a calibration be good for? Thanks in advance. Steven.

Just go fill out this form www.accucalhd.com/pricing-quote.htm.

I would like to post an interesting twist to this discussion.

If someone were not able to "ever" get a VT 30 ISF calibrated, or for that matter a Samsung 7000 or 8000, what would be the best/better one to go with in light of no calibration?

I have heard the Samsung's are easier to potentially attempt calibration yourself but maybe this is really not much of an option for high quality picture?
Perhaps the calibration of a Panny VT 30 or the Samsung 7000/8000 should not really be a determining factor in the decision process? Maybe calibration is not necessary for a high quality picture/etc.?

What do the AVS forum members and professional calibrators think on this topic?

Shad

I answered this question that you posted in the other thread. If you go to Value Electronic's webpage, they have the before and after calibration reports of all the panels tested at this years shootout. Compare the before calibration reports and you'll know which one tested best out of the box.

If you have a 1G Pioneer Elite I would invest in a display before a calibration. If you can find a 151FD or 111FD Pioneer that would be a great place to start.

Looking for ISF calibrators in the Charlotte, NC area. Please post your website/contact info. Thanks!

I was fortunate enough to have my Panasonic 55VT30 calibrated by Gotchaa this weekend. I live in the Bay Area and managed to catch him as part of a Northern California calibration tour. My set up is a little different than most which added a layer of complexity to the whole process. All my content, including cable television, comes from my HTPC. Upon his arrival, we determined through the use of calibration test patterns, that my video card could not limit its color range to the standard 16-235 range. In addition, there was no setting in the ATI Catalyst Control software enable this (for ATI video cards, this setting appears to only be available on video cards that have an HDMI output). This meant that my video card, in combination with the VT30, was effectively clipping lower end blacks and upper end whites. No amount of calibration was going to change this. At this point Gotchaa proceeded to calibrate ISF day and ISF night modes on all my inputs while I quickly ran to Best Buy for a new video card. I managed to finish installing a new GTX 550 and set the output to 16-235 as he finished up the calibration. I must say that setting the video card to limit its output to 16-235 made a big difference on the various test patterns. Now we could see all the subtle gradations in the various test patters where none could be see before. With the new video card installed and configured and the the calibration complete, we started viewing various different blu-ray content and I was blown away by the level of improvement in the picture. Color accuracy, clarity, and black level were all outstanding.

Gotchaa took the time to review my calibration report, showing me the before and after settings. Overall I'm very pleased with his work and would highly recommend his services to anyone needing ISF calibration.

You should NOT limit video to 235 on the top end. Digital values above 235 (236-254) are "legal" in Blu-ray and other consumer video sources. And these values do show up in most consumer video content. You really need to have a test pattern that shows digital values from about 210-254 in order to evaluate this properly. If you NEVER see any steps above 235, the display (or video board) is forcing every digital value above 235 to the same luminance level as 235 so you can potentially lose detail in highlights (like reflections from chrome, a crystal chandelier, etc. It's not the end of the world to have detail stop at 235, but eliminating steps above 235 is not good practice.

Steps below 16 (black) are generally not present in consumer video and if they are they are just "mistakes" that can be changed to 16 without affecting the image. But being able to see steps below 16 makes setup of the Brightness control using a Pluge pattern that has below-black, black, and above black bars a little easier. But if black information stops at 16 (0-15 are all the same level, black, as 16), that's not really an issue.

Im new to the AVS. Ive been reading the site for a few years but just actually registered because I'm in need of a good calibrator. I bought the last Pioneer Elite pro 101fd BB had in the box before they were discontinued. I new i wanted the pioneer from reading all the reviews and posts on here.

I live in the Allentown Pa area. I read somewhere that D-nice would be in the area soon and tried to pm him with no response. I don't even know if he got the pm. I have the set about a year and a half with setting I got off this site. I love the picture but I know its only scratching the surface of the sets potential.

Any help would be greatly appreciated,thanks...

Doug, it was not limited to 235, setting the display to video levels vs. PC allowed for well above 235 without crushing blacks or white when set properly, this was checked with Spears Munsil from the HTPC in both modes as well as directly from a pattern generator.

I have an elderly Pioneer SD-532HD5 like this one.

http://www4.shopping.com/xFS?KW=pioneer+sd-532hd5&FN=TV+and+Video&FD=85747

I might just need to have this thing calibrated some day. It works OK and has been moved across the country twice, in storage for a couple years, never been touched except when I used the Avia disk set it up initially and when I moved here in Boca Raton 3 years ago.

Just noticed this post in another thread, from way back in '05.

Just so you know, those "elderly" CRT RPTVs are not old, they have a 20 year service life - or more, I've seen it, recently heard about a 29 year old Panny CRT 50" that's still cranking away just fine - and at today's stage are only halfway thru it. I know of an "old" curved screen Sears CRT whose guns fire at the hinged mirror that you pull out to start it up, that's still cranking away just fine too. We've been looking for someone to take it home and keep it going.

Well treated by their owners re. usage, light levels and screenburn, they are capable of WAY better than new performance, even at 11 years old.

I am being flown all over the country cleaning and calibrating these "elderly" beasts, which are capable of incredible HD, head and shoulders better than a lot of the "affordable" fixed pixel offerings out there in today's marketplace. And better looking in some ways than all fixed pixel offerings.

The main thing that not everybody knows about them is that their optics need to be cleaned yearly, and on some brands - like the Pioneers, be they Elite or non-Elite - the "deeper optics" need it every few years as well. That's because of the air gap between the lens barrels and the CRT coolant covers, where 6 additional surfaces get invaded by dust, soot, smoke and all manner of other airborn contaminants, and thus compromised because of the high voltage turning them into powerful, continuous dust magnets every moment they are powered on. There's 28 optical surfaces in there that need to stay crystal clear, 10 of which get compromised because of the HV. When all 28 surfaces are clean and polished and you have a crystal clear light path, the results are truly astounding. Like getting a brand new TV for a simple hour's work.

Just doing this one thing gives your "elderly" set a brand new looking picture - in my area my calibrations are called "The Sparkle Process" - and calibration after that is just incredible icing on the cake.

I started the "Don't Dump Your CRT RPTV!" thread here on AVS more than 5 years ago, and it is still going strong, with over 300 complete pages so far and over 9000 posts. If you have a CRT RPTV at all, HD or non-HD, I invite you to go over there and check it out.

http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showthread.php?t=695922&page=327

If you have a CRT RPTV or know someone who does and want info about how to do your optics cleaning with no damage - those soft plastic surfaces in there are incredibly delicate, vulnerable and easily scratched, and any damage to them is permanent - contact me directly, by email or phone. No pm's please!

Jeff Meier came by my house two weeks ago to calibrate my home theater system. He calibrated both my JVC Projector as well as my sound system. The difference between the before and after PQ and SQ is night and day. I'm absolutely stunned at how the sound quality has improved because I had run the Audyssey room EQ on my Integra 80.2 pre-pro and thought that that was the best that I could get in my room. But after Jeff was done with it, the improvement in SQ is unbelievable. Anyone who is on the fence about PQ and SQ calibration should definitely contact him. Jeff went out of his way to accommodate me because I was traveling on business and could only meet with him on Sunday. I recommend him in the strongest possible way. Thanks Jeff.

Let me know if you live there or closeby to there, and are ready for a calibration or even just an optics cleaning, which is essential not only for CRT tech, but any projection tech, like DLP, LCOS, etc.

Hi guys, I purchased a little under a month ago a Samsung PN64D8000. This week I'm installing my Marantz receiver with Energy speakers. I live in the Bronx, NY and wanted to know if there is a ISF certified calibrator that could help with the calibration of my TV. Please let me know how much would it be and time frame of when you could do it. Thanks.

Thanks!

Jeff Meier came by my house two weeks ago to calibrate my home theater system. He calibrated both my JVC Projector as well as my sound system. The difference between the before and after PQ and SQ is night and day. I'm absolutely stunned at how the sound quality has improved because I had run the Audyssey room EQ on my Integra 80.2 pre-pro and thought that that was the best that I could get in my room. But after Jeff was done with it, the improvement in SQ is unbelievable. Anyone who is on the fence about PQ and SQ calibration should definitely contact him. Jeff went out of his way to accommodate me because I was traveling on business and could only meet with him on Sunday. I recommend him in the strongest possible way. Thanks Jeff.

I'm considering getting a professional calibration done for my new LG 42LK450. It has 10-pt white balance/gamma controls and a 2D CMS. I live in the central New Jersey area and am not looking to spend past $250 or so ($200 would be ideal).

I don't think you will find anyone :) they charge you at least $350 per input. My suggestions try reading calibration threads and steps for a week. Spend less than 200 in getting necessary equipment and you will be done for next several years for as many tvs or projectors you may own. You will be happy you did something on your own and saved $$$$ on "PROFESSIONAL" calibration. I bet you will be at least 95% close to what these services can offer..!!!

I have the CalMAN DIY/C6 combo, but I have read that calibration tables on tri-stim devices don't always work as advertised, sometimes by a rather large margin.

dude, you might want to just watch that TV for a while and enjoy it and give the calibration controls a rest..
Besides, all 8 displays I have calibrated with the C6 error or not.. look WAY better than they did before hand.. just enjoy your set for a while.

Well I will be a bit skeptical about the way the article is written and the fact that $$$$ colorimeter is way better than $$$ that's just crap unless you are looking for perfection.

As I said there is no need to calibrate your TV to 99.999% perfection and that also at such a high price. If you follow the calibration steps and where color points should be with right temperature I am sure you can get a huge gain on the picture quality. Your calibration may not be perfect but how far you will be from what pros will do say by 5% if did in the right way which is not that hard but needs a bit patience and reading. My point is why should I pay for a service where I know things may change now and then and the service will have no value, if you change your device/room/receiver/blu ray player/projector you will have to pay every single time. That is where I could not help myself to justify the cost. Had they be offering at $99 for 2yrs per input well I will get that done, but not at $350 per input and no guarantee !! Sorry !!!!

I agree the base $350 price point is too steep for many, including myself. However, it looks like using a colorimeter alone (w/o a spectro to profile it on each display you actually calibrate) can produce a wide range of results: from just a little bit off to moderately off to way off. Furthermore, this is the case with the C6, which is basically most expensive colorimeter for DIY use at the moment. I imagine something like a stock D2 would be even farther off, probably in every single case. If I can manage to get a professional calibration for well under $350, I will definitely consider it; if not, I'll eventually get a used i1PRO.

Yeah, I do watch it and enjoy the picture. Of course, that's the whole point of having a calibrated set in the first place, to get as much as you can from the display and then enjoy it. :)

It does look way better than the default settings, but it would be nice to know that my display is as close to reference standards as possible. I knew calibration tables weren't perfect prior to reading that article but I never though something like a C6 could be that far off on some displays.

If you happen to get the pro calibration done then please do share your color setting and color plots of now (with your beat abilities using your colorimeter)and after pro calibration. It will be good to get this comparison from an end user rather than reading blog from a pro who is probably trying to make the case.

FYI: if I remember correctly then Bestbuy and ABT both offered $199 per input pro calibration when i was looking around last month. I am in Chicago area and I am not sure if you have ABT where you are.

Is there still time from any of the Central Florida calibrators to get a calibration done before the Super Bowl on my new Sharp LC-LE735U? I am in New Tampa (ie Wesley Chapel).

Also, since we watch a lot of sports during the day, is it possible to have a day and a night mode calibrated? My wife is like a plant and needs sunlight so the room is pretty bright during the day ;)

Ok, first point, the "professional" calibrator and what they charge bashing is getting a bit tiresome. There may well be some "professional" calibrators who charge $350 per input, and if they do, they likely won't be in business long. Most calibrators charge $350 for two to three inputs TOTAL, and maybe an extra $25-$50 for any additional ones. Second point, who do you think was generous enough to write the procedures on how to calibrate you read on the forum? Many of those folks are doing "calibration" professionally or affiliated with the market somehow. So, bashing on professionals is bashing on the "free" stuff they gave you that you use. Third point, the blog you refer to you belongs to one of the most respected individuals in the video calibration industry. Michael has helped more DIY'ers than almost everyone over the years. In addition, he usually does extensive testing on "new toys" in the market, and I would trust his judgement without testing myself bar none. I ask that the bashing on professionals and what they charge be put to an end. This thread is about those seeking professional calibrators. If you wish to discuss the pros and cons of such a service, start a thread, or seek out an old one. There are plenty I am sure. Thanks.

Any other calibrators ever service Mobile Alabama (only one I know of on AVS currently)?

Thanks.

Most calibrators charge $350 for two to three inputs TOTAL, and maybe an extra $25-$50 for any additional ones.

How much do they charge for a single input then?

You are gonna pay a base price, which covers up to. Kinda like an oil change covers up to say 5 qts and filter. If you need 7 qts, you pay a little more. If you need 3.5 qts, you dont get a discount.

Does this price discussion really belong in this thread? Just sayin...

Does this price discussion really belong in this thread? Just sayin...

No, good point. I was just trying to see if I could get a professional calibration done at a lower price point, since it's all I can afford at the moment.

Wow !!!
I can forward you emails asking for 499 for 2-3 inputs and 399 for one input from two diff pros !! :) and 199 per input from Bestbuy and ABT.

There is no need to get ignited here, everyone is posting their personal experiences here. I did the calibration for my projector following one of the threads and I am more thankful to them than to you for their help. If on one side there are people who are vouching for pros then there are some who help for DIY as well.. So please Peace !!

I had a delay in getting my system installed. Everything is up and running. I am looking to get the VW70 calibrated and atleast basic audio. My basic audio, I would be fine with getting just the settings looked over to make sure I had it correct on the avr 3312.

Oh before I make this comment below I do know what the Title & Topic is of this Thread.

Just a quick comment on having Custom Video performed.
I did have that done and the fellow had all the equipment and was Trained.
But honestly the picture in some ways was not better.
The Blacks as an example were better before he did the adjustments.

So, just saying there are instances where you might not get some Awesome improvement in your Picture.

Just don't let yourself get all Hyped-Up expecting some WOW & Pop over what you have.

That is assumong your picture has not been Messed-Up by someone.

I guarantee my work and regularly correct others. My audio and video work is of exceptional quality. I also travel to many areas.

How much do they charge for a single input then?

I don't understand the discussion of "per input" at all... that's "old tapes" from the analog video days. In the age of digital video, digital inputs rarely require any special or unique calibration. As long as the disc player or satellite box have the right settings, there's no value in separate calibrations for different digital inputs. If there are analog video components (tape machines, laserdisc, etc.)... yes, custom calibration for those may be appropriate.

Today, the issues are primarily what controls the TV has and whether the owner wants 3D calibration or not. My base fee is for 2D grayscale calibration including checking and copying the calibration settings to different inputs (if needed) and copying the results to different resolutions if the TV or projector has different memories for each resolution. I then add $50 per hour for 2D CMS, 3D grayscale, and 3D CMS. The customer can have as many or as few of those options as they like. The "per hour" fee is fair to everybody as customers only pay for the time it takes. If the CMS cal only requires adjustments to 2 or 3 colors (rather than all 6), the customer isn't paying for more than they need. If the customer doesn't want 3D calibration they aren't paying for it. Nothing you do re. 2D calibration has anything to do with 3D calibration... 3D calibration is a completely separate calibration task, almost like calibrating a second TV.

What calibrators charge has much to do with their overhead, cost of living in their area, and whether they are traveling or calibrating locally. Someone in a higher cost of living area is likely to pay more for calibration than someone from a lower cost of living area. A calibrator who uses a $10,000+ meter is likely to charge a bit more than a calibrator who uses an $800 meter (at least to my way of thinking). If the customer isn't interested in paying a little more for a calibration using an expensive, well-maintained instrument, so be it. The customer can select from whatever options are available in their area. Nobody is twisting anybody's arm. There are a lot of enthusiasts who aren't willing to spend 100 or more hours learning calibration and calibration software plus spending $250+ on a meter that will have to be replaced in 3 or 4 years plus practicing and making mistakes many times before getting it right. For them, the value in pro calibration is having it done without the effort and expense on their part. Not everybody values their time the same way. If you value your time at $10 per hour, the 100 or more hours you put in to learning calibration and calibration software is "worth" $1000. If you value your time at $30 an hour (pretty minimal for a professional who earns $100 per hour or more), then you're looking at value of $3000 for the investment in time. If you put $0 per hour value on your time, it sure makes DIY look like a good deal.

I do not intend for this post to generate on-going discussion of fees or DIY vs. pro. This isn't the right thread for that. But there were some points in this thread that I thought needed some comment.
