Like several other reviewers I was sceptical about adding this cost to the price of my new TV, a 46" Samsung LCD. I had however read some comments in Consumer Reports suggesting that this was a worthwhile service, so I went ahead and purchased the calibration. Upon the recommendation of the saleman, I "worn-in" the TV for about 100 hours before scheduling the califbration, which was performed this morning. All I can say is I am glad I did. I thought the picture was excellent before the service, but it is AWESOME now. Also, the reduction in heat near the screen was very noticeable. I had noticed my electric bill was higher during the period I was doing the "burn-in", so hopefully some of the cost of the calibration will be offset by savings on the electric bill, although I think the service is justified by the picture improvement alone. For those reviewers who have had a bad experience with their calibrations, I suspect the problem lies with the person doing the calibration and not the calibration itself. Done properly, calibration makes a significant difference.
What's great about it: Awesome picture; less heat given off
What's not so great: Nothing
I would recommend this to a friend!
