Circuit City/Firedog is offering calibration services for $150

Best Buy/Geek Squard is offering ISF-certified calibration for $250


Anyone have horror stories they'd like to share -or- are these corporate giants really giving consumers a good bargain for calibration services?

I had a so called "ISF" from Best Buy. BB had to do it twice to get what they did do right. Unfortunately it is not really a full calibration. They set levels, sharpness and greyscale. They do not set primaries. If you have a Mits, and let BB calibrate it, it will look better than it did out of the box, the big problem is color accuracy.


So I would say buyer beware. It was a waste of my money. I sent the Mits back, but I did not get my $250 back.

Based on some of the horror storeis that I read in another calibration thread, and absed on the fact the CC is $150 when everyone else's is more, I went with a local boutique store for their calibration.


It gonna cost me about 4 bills, but they will be there for as long as it takes, they do calibrate my TV (I checked) and I should get reports both before and after.


Failing that, of course, they are local to me so I can go explain exactly what I thought of them....
