So, I have been lurking here for some time, trying to gather info on my new TV purchase. I ended up going with the Westy 37" LCD. The one that everyone loves. I saw it in person and I fell in love. This will be the first LCD I will have owned besides smaller computer monitors.
I have a few questions:
1. I understand that it is recommended to run the screen through a burn-in process. How does one go about this?
2. I am also interested in some information on screen calibration. I don't mind reading, so links are good.
I hope someone can help me out with my question. How are LCD's with gaming? I am looking for one to work with a ps3 and i was wondering if anyone could reccomend a decent 32 inch LCD that wouldnt break the bank

For DVD input:
The cheapest way to start is to use the THX Optimizer which is included in the setup section on THX Certified disks. People in the calibration forum ( http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/forumdisplay.php?f=139 ) tend not to use it, but it will put you ahead of everyone who doesn't calibrate, which is just about everyone.
These days I use GetGray, which you buy and download from http://www.calibrate.tv/ . You have to burn your own dvd. Simple, easy to navigate, but minimal instructions and I think it's best to practice with the THX Optimizer first.
For both of the above you need the THX blue filter glasses available for $1 plus shipping from: http://www.co-store.com/thx .
Otherwise: Avia and Digital Video Essentials are both popular and come with filters. They have extensive tutorial and infomercial content. I have both but have not had time or patience to sit through them. Disk navigation is terrible on both.
I haven't seen it, but the Monster/ISF disk might be good for non-technical users. It has video clips instead of test patterns.
