My mistake was to post in the wrong section, though I am glad now that I did because I am learning so much.

As far as the settings I currently have. I wasn't even going to bother with it as I will be swapping this set out with the 632U model, but after searching and finding very little info out there on the 630U model, I thought I would run through and do what I could and post the settings for someone stuck in a similar situation as I was. Just trying to be helpful, not meant to ruffle any feathers whatsoever.

I am a little confused though as George makes pro calibration sound like an absolute certainty, however the more I'm reading I'm learning that there are various numbers of ways to calibrate, with various different tools and various different control sets. So, in conclusion, and please correct me if I am wrong, but Pro Calibration is in, by no means, an exact science and in the end comes down to the Pro doing the Calibrating and what they feel is the best tool, control set and numbers to use?

In fact, I could probably have 2 different guys come in here at 2 different times and produce 2 very different results on the same set, correct?

If it was not meant as such and I don't think it was, please explain how and why 2 professionals with equal skill sets and equipment, working on the same set, in the same environment would come up with substantial different settings.

The Rec 709 Standard an exact science but consumer sets are not perfect and many times they can not reproduce the 709 standard perfectly. This is where the experience of the real pro comes into play. They have the knowledge to know what compromises will be lease noticeable to the human eye and how to work around manufacture limitation.

Just like all service providers, all pros are not equal and it is up to the consumer to figure out which one is the good one..

You are right in that two different calibrators would likely come up with two different numerical values for your settings. Would you be able to tell the difference visually? Not likely unless one was far off and performed with a meter, equipment, and/or software that was off in some way. Or the person doing it was not familiar with your TV or not experienced enough in how to do it and/or just did not care.

Calibration is a mixture of science and art. There are always judgement calls that highly influence the outcome of the set. I have to agree with the original claim.
