A I said, the same dull/flat/dim feeling exists in THX mode before and after calibration. Is there a difference in degree before and after... not to me, but I don't own one so not sure what an owner would say.

Calibration imporoves grayscale (which makes a noticeable difference) and everyone of these I've done, the primaries and secondaries are more accurate after calibration even though there are no adjustments for them - purely luck. But the degree of improvement in primary and secondary accuracy is difficult or impossible to detect with the eye - easy to see with a meter though.

dont know if someone already posted it but anyone certified in the st. petersburg, fl area other than geek squad?
post #963 of 2784
Just wanted to ask if there are any "true" ISF calibrators in the Utica/Rome/Syracuse area or Central NY in general. I just bought a 1080p HC6500 and BestBuy tried selling me an ISF Calibration for $250 (which they have on sale now for $215). Now, knowing what I know about BB and their Geek Squad prices ($149 to program a Harmony remote!) This seems way off for an actual ISF Calibration using the necessary equipment to get a D6500 image. If any one does and would like to get me a quote, I'm considering this once I finish my room. Thanks.

Dave Hancock covers Syracuse. I'm not clear on how far outside the city he goes, but I think he is probably your best bet.

Also, here's an additional listing of other independent New York state calibrators that might be helpful:

I travel to that region and will return in March. My pricing is at www.accucalhd.com/pricing.htm. I also do audio with the video which is very important for home theater. Design and equipment selection advice are part of this service as well. Projection systems are easy to get wrong.

I just purchased the seating for my own theater yesterday for my new home. Hopefully, my projector will make it here fairly soon.

I will be receiving the new JVC RS 20 very soon. How many hours should I burn the bulb before considering a professional calibration? I am in the Montgomery Al area.

You already know about Chad Billheimer and Kevin Miller (both can activate and calibrate the PRO-111FD's ISFccc Interface), both with plenty of experience.

Here are other Pros that cover that area: Eliab Alvarez de la Campa, Eric Hedin and Jeff Meier (Kevin McKee in NJ may also).

Check this LIST for contact info.

The PRO-111FD is the single most impressive display that I've ever owned (over 35 in the last 9 years!). Great choice.

You cannot go wrong with any of the calibrators recommended. I too service your area on a weekly basis being as I'm in your neck of the woods. At Avical, we've created several different calibration packages for the 9G Elites. Please email me at eliab@avical.com if you're interested in knowing more about them.

Thanks, happy holidays, and good luck.

Eliab

Hi Jerryray,

I concur with Eliab completely. I did two more Elite calibrations this past weekend implementing ISF ccc, andd they are the best flat panels money can buy. I am literally in your backyard. Please email me at kevin@isftv.com if you want more information on my service. Thanks!

The current Pioneer Elites are wonderful. I should have my 151FD up and running along with my RS20 by next week. It is a wonderful world for great home theater at this time.

I will be in the NY/NJ area in March and offer both audio and video calibration to complete the home theater experience.
post #984 of 2784
FYI --

I have a loyal, long-time client who recently moved from St. Louis to Chicago who needs some immediate post-holiday calibration attention after completing his new home theater over the weekend.

As a result, I'm going to be in the Chicago area next Monday Dec 29 and Tuesday, Dec 30 and because this is an otherwise one-off, one-client trip, I thought I'd drop you a note here to see if anyone else would be interested in scheduling a calibration while I'm in the area. I'll be waiving travel fees.

I'm coming from St. Louis, so in addition to the Chicago area, so I could also combine this with one or two stops in northern and/or central Illinois.

FWIW, in addition to the normal calibration toolkit, I am also equipped with the ControlCAL tools needed to calibrate current Pioneer Elite and non-Elite plasmas, and also possess the software tools required for activating ISF Day/Night modes on previous model Elites.

If you're interested, please call ASAP at 314-495-2993 or eMail me (doug [at] clearlyresolved.com).
