Customer Reports About Their Professional Calibrations

The first post in this thread a list of links to reports by owners about the results of having their RPTV, CRT, or FP displays professionally calibrated. The second post does the same thing for flat panel displays.

NOTE: The return of AVS from Huddler back to vBulletin caused some serious link problems especially in post number two. Thanks to work done by Woobieizer, I've just replaced all the links in posts one and two with corrected links. If anyone encounters a link that doesn't work, please PM me directly. Thanks Woobieizer.

Quote:

Some owners have posted their calibration reports in this thread, but it's much better for other owners if those reports are posted in a thread dedicated to the model display that's been calibrated.

The list was started in August of 2006, but includes a few reports done earlier. To have your report included in these lists, it's important to indicate who calibrated your display. Where possible, the lists are organized by model, and the AVS user name of the calibrator. If an audio calibration was done, that's also indicated.




Quote:

If you find reports that I've missed, or if you have had a calibration done yourself, please PM me or post here giving the location of the report. I will try my best to keep this list updated.


Links to reports about direct view and projection (front and rear) displays check this post. For flat panel (Plasma and LCD) reports check Post#2.For information about members who were unhappy with their results check Post#3.

Contact Information:

It's easy to contact anyone who is registered at AVS. If you click on their "User Name" in the upper left hand corner of any message that they post, you can either send a personal message, or if they have listed one, visit their personal web page. Almost all of the professional calibrators who's work is discussed in this list have included their web page URL as part of their AVS profile.

I have no contact information for the calibrators who are not members of AVS. Contacting their customers might be one way to reach them.

A quick way to find a post written by any AVS member is to click on "Search" followed by a click on "Advanced Search". Then fill in the "Search by User" box and click on "Search Now".

A way to find a calibrator in your area is to use these AVS threads.

ISF Calibrators, where are you located? Please post here!

You can use the "Search this Thread" option to narrow the list down to your state. Many of the best calibrators travel extensively so you may be closer to one than you think.


Is Factory Calibration Possible?

Comments by professional calibrators:
UMR thinks it's possible, expensive, and incomplete.

Are "free" with your purchase calibrations worth it?

Are there reports from unhappy owners?


This is the worst case I've found since starting this thread, and the only one that identified the calibrator. There have been a few others, but most of time the unhappy member doesn't post an AVS user name for the calibrator. There have also been a few cases where a misunderstanding was cleared up by getting the calibrator back in touch with the member.

Is this a report from an unrealistic owner? Very possible, and now very likely based on the later posts to the thread before it was closed. (01/30/2007)


Since I joined AVS in 2002 I've read a couple of reports where the customer wasn't happy. Since I started this thread, this is the first "unhappy" calibration customer that I've read about. (01/28/2007)


According to the owner this is a "Bad isf calibration" of a LCD flat panel TV.


If you read the whole thread you will learn a lot about what to do, and what not to do, when looking for satisfaction from a professional calibration. Try to ignore the parts that are plain silly.



The calibrator posted his results from the calibration session in question, and this is a link to that data. I hope that anyone concerned about this thread will be sure to read the end of the thread starting at this link.

The calibration charts.


A different perspective of "calibration" from another owner.

An owner on the value of calibration to industry standards.

You're welcome.


I put a link to your "Go-to Guide for Source Options" in message #3.


I will post a link in the calibration forum, but I'm afraid it won't stay around very long. I've been using this thread to answer inquiries about calibration by referring people to it's link in my signature.

You might ask UMR.

No one has had a Pannasonic PT-XXLCyy (xx = diag size; y=13,15,64 etc.. [model #]) set ISF calibrated? Or any helpful starting points for DVE? I have been using DVE from the start and touching up ever 1k hr of lamp time or so (ends up being just uping brightness just slightly).


Anything else to think of?


Just asking encase there is something I haven't thought of.
 
#10 ·
The first post in this thread is developing a larger list of calibration reports.



It would be great if more owners of calibrated sets would post their comments and PM me about including those comments.


We need more variety!



Thanks for the help.

Or #2473 & #2504 In the JVC Pro DILA HD-P70R1U Thread concern a UMR field report.

Would it be possible for you to do a copy and paste and add the relevant comments in post #2504 to the first post (#2473)? That would be a big help.


That way one link will cover the comments in both posts.


Thanks for the heads up. Post #2473 is in the list now.

I've been reading threads relating to 1080p Samsung, Sony, Mitsubishi and HP RPTV sets. If you find customer reports of ISF calibrations in these or other threads please post a link in this thread or PM me.


Thanks to all who have posted your ISF calibration reports. The list is growing.

I've added information about contacting the professional calibrators who appear in the first message of this thread.

Here is the information on the ISF calibration done on my Pioneer Elite Pro-630 HD:


calibrated by Chuck Williams
cmwtek@aol.com

He's located in San Francisco, but used to be in Washington, DC (used to be the head tech for Meyer Emco) and often makes trips back east. He is an independent calibrator, now.


Chuck does a complete calibration, including cleaning. Picture was much improved after the calibration, and on this great RP CRT, the picture is incredibly life-like. I highly recommend him.

You might want to check the resale value of your Toshiba first. I don't know what it is, but it may be too low to justify having the set calibrated just before you sell it.


Here ia a link to the ISF locator.

Thanks Htwaits! I knew you would know. I am not selling it for 6 months or so and I want it to look good for me till then. I am sure its only worth 300-400 buck tops. I am trying to wait and see what comes out of CES next week. Better Led DLP or Laser DLP, new Lcos ect. Just not totally satisfied with any of the current crop. I figure anything good for this year will not be out till the summer or fall so i'll have to wait that long. Oh well, it give me more time to save a bigger chunk, cause you know the new stuff will not be cheap.
