Would like to have my TV calibrated and have some questions

Hi everyone,

I recently bought a Pio 6010. I did the 100 hours break in process and am now ready to start to fully enjoying it
I would like to get the most out of it and enjoy the best possible PQ and therefore I wanted to have a professional come over and calibrate it.
I do however have a few questions:

1. Are there several methods of calibration? Should I choose something specific or there's only one way to calibrate a plasma TV?

2. If I get TV calibrated and after several months I move to a different apartment, do I have to re-calibrate it?

3. If for some reason I am not happy with the results, is there a way to revert to the previous settings?

4. Can the calibrator ruin something in the TV? Does calibration void the warranty? I heard that calibrators need to go to the service menu, is that allowed by Pioneer?

5. I am looking for someone in NY, any recommendation would be very helpful.

6. Anything else I should be aware of?

As you can see, I am not knowledgeable when it comes to calibration so your tips and recommendation are much appreciated!

Thank you all in advance,

Gurt.

Eliab from Avical gets my vote for question #5!

I'll let the calibration experts answer your other questions though.

Yes, but if the calibrators know their stuff, you end up in the same place at the end.

No ... unless you drop the TV. Calibration is not forever though ... as you change out equipment ... things will change. As the tv ages ... things drift.


3. If for some reason I am not happy with the results, is there a way to revert to the previous settings?

If you are not sure ... then pro calibration is likely not a good idea for you. You have to convince yourself first that it is a service you want. See another thread in this very area.

4. Can the calibrator ruin something in the TV? Does calibration void the warranty? I heard that calibrators need to go to the service menu, is that allowed by Pioneer?

Pioneer says entering the service menu on this TV to calibrate violates the warranty. You want grayscale calibration precision ... then you should buy an Elite. Their view.
