Panasonic Plasma - ISF Calibration
Today I had my Panasonic TH-50PHD7UY 50" plasma ISF calibrated and the result is just stunning.
I have had the plasma for a bit over a year now. The picture has been excellent. However, was not totally happy with the blacks & gray scale. Also, sometimes there was a bit of a green tint to certain scenes. Don't get me wrong, the picture was great. Nephew once said, "You can see the hair on the beaver's balls".
We were watching IMAX beavers movie on INHD TV.
I had previously run DVE to calibrate. Also tried some settings (never in the service menu ) which I read on the Internet. Picture quality was very good.
I run either my Motorola digital cable box or DVD player (one at a time) directly to the Panny via DVI input.
I have read about ISF calibration and finally decided to give it a shot.
I contacted:
Chad Billheimer
www.HDTVbyChadB.com
Chad is supposed to be one of the best ISF Techs around.
I emailed Chad and we discussed things a bit. His price was reasonable (flat fee - no travel charges). He said he would be making his way to South Jersey, so I said what the heck, let's do it.
Chad arrived at my house about 9:15am and left about 1:30pm. He is very professional and thoroughly went through the calibration of my Plasma, DVD player, & digital cable box. He was at it for hours - non stop.
End result is just spectacular. Blacks are black. Gray scale knocks your socks off. The picture is much sharper, vivid, 3 dimensional. Colors are all now spot on.
Its really like seeing the set for the first time. Very nice, way better than any plasma I have ever seen.
Money well spent & highly recommended!

Hi TopShelf17-
I was in Halifax with my hockey club last November -- Beautiful city! Played a couple pick-up games with Bobby Smith and other Moosehead's staff. I'm from Minneapolis where Bobby used to play for the North Stars. The guys are already talking about going back. Great memories already. If I ever had to leave the country I know where I'd go .

Well they said that on the side. I didn't purchase it for that reason. I purchased it because the tv was at a lower price then I thought so I took the savings and but the warrenty. But oh well life does go on.
