Update,first I would like to thank everyone for there reply on this matter.I posted this message months ago and since then I have learned alot and also had a ISF tech. come out and tune my set and WOW what a difference.I was very impressed with the results and it was worth every penny.As I understand it you and I can only get into the user menu but the ISF tech can get into the service menu wich is realy the default settings of the set.Also he has a color analyzer wich he uses to adjust the gray scale and get as close to 6500 kelvin as possible.While the guy was tuning my set wich took about 4 hours I asked him about a hundred questions wich he was happy to answer.Anyway in three days I make settlement on my new home and I am biulding a dedicated home theater in the basement.I cant wait untill it's finished and I'm sure I will have alot of questions along the way.I'll talk to ya's soon and thanks again.
Video Calibration?
I own a 55" Mitsubishi WS-809 RP. tv and I picked up the Avia hometheater set up dvd.Now,after using the video calibration test patterns I thought the picture was terrible except for the 480p display on dvd and even that could use some improvment.What I did after a few days of these new settings was switched every thing back to standard setting and used my IRIS control witch controls the contrast and brightness automatically,according to the brightness in the room.I read in alot of hometheater mags that calibration is a must but after I did it my self with this Avia dvd I was scratching my head wondering why the picture was so poor.I also hear of ISF a technician who comes to your house and calibrates your set.Has anyone ever had this done and if so did it make an improvment?I heard you can have it done for about 350.00.Im happy with the picture now but if I can get more out of my set for a reasonable price I will.
