Ya. I know. Like I said, I'm trained to do professional calibrations. There is a special software involved.... But I'm just saying that for 80% of normal viewers, a professional calibration wouldn't make a huge difference.

yeah, it worked out well. HP bought back my old plasma for about $1000, we ended up getting the Panasonic for less than that and also bought a UPS, the calibration, tax, etc for under $1000 when they were selling for about $1700. (sale, pricematch, discount for purchasing a service)

Wow. Thats an amazing price. I paid $1500 for my 50 inch Panasonic, and then I got the second 50 inch Panasonic for free (contest).

very nice! i might upgrade to a 50ish inch for the home theatre, move the 42 to the bedroom and pick up a cheap 42 for the kids toy room after the holidays.
