How to Find Someone to Calibrate my HDTV ??

[ofield1]

Hello,

I know there are calibration discs out there, but I know nothing on
the subject and on my 46" Samsung HDTV The 3 different settings are sub par at best..

Does anybody know of any services that do the calibration. I live in West Virginia..

Thanks for any Help...

I'll do it if you pay my expenses.

Seriously, did you check the Yellow Pages?

Good Luck!!!

I had a local electronic firm calibrate my HDTV, but wish I won't have. When I contacted them, they wanted $350. I said, no, thats too much and asked if they would do it for $250. They said, yes, but it would be a one-time adjustment, meaning they would only make the initial changes. Well, it took about 2 hours. The HDTV looks OK and the Blu Ray player (PS3) plays Blu Ray movies OK, but the problem is when playing standard DVD movies, the dark scenes are almost black ! When they make the calibration, the adjust the grey scale tones, etc.

So, now I wished I won't have done it. Fooie.

check out the AVS FORUM they have threads on different SAMSUNG HD LCD TV's on how to calibrate to the best settings for HDMI, COMPONENT, PS3 & XBOX 360. then you can calibrate it yourself to your liking.

Hi,

I have a Samsung 46 inch DLP HDTV not LCD....

I'd still agree with Budz. On the AVSForums, you should be able to find some information in regards to your television.

If you search on isf calibration you should see lots of hits. You'll see people on there recommending certain individuals. These people occasionaly do traveling calibration tours so you could see if one is coming near your location. You might even find some that have already had sets calibrated in your area and they might point you in the right direction.

Hope this helps some.

you need to connect it to a pc but it works very well.

I know this isn't the best way but on many Lucasflim and Pixar DVD's there are THX Optimizers that help you calibrate your tv,a better option is to buy DVE DVD:
