ISF Calibration

[Got_HDTV?]

Can anyone recommend an ISF certified technician that calibrates Toshibas?

I have a 42H81 (42-inch widescreen rear projection HDTV) and am overall pleased with the picture.  However, since I now have a HD STB, I'm thinking about having it calibrated
to get the most out of the TV.

In addition, I live in Appleton.


Thanks for any help,


Jim

Wow, I would have thought someone would have made some suggestions by now.  If you have not been out to www.hometheaterspot.com   I would suggest looking there in the Toshiba forum.  The trick will be finding a guy in the mid-west that has a great track record and reputation.  We do have a local shop here (Flanners Audio and Video) that has 2 ISF certified techs, however I don't know of anyone here that has had them calibrate their sets.  Also, I don't believe that they are a Toshiba dealer, so experience with your set may be an issue.

Have you contacted Sus Electronics?  Again, I think they are more of a Mitsibushi dealer, but they are in Appleton.

Good luck!

Okay, based on a thread at www.hometheaterspot.com  (under the "Toshiba" forum), the world famous Eliab maybe interested in doing a Wisconsin tour.

Anyone else interested in his services?
(At this time, I don't have a timeframe when
he would be available.)

Yes, I am I would be glad to ISF calibrate your Toshiba I am going to make a trip up that way around the first Two weeks in July.  In fact I have calibrated a 56H80 in the Appleton area. Let me know if time frame is ok.  Make sure you turn your contrast down to around 45% in the mean time.  Thanks for your interest Steve

I am interest in ISF calibration of my projector and 60" Mits.  I have a DWIN HD500 projector.  Does someone in the forum know of a certification tech. that services this area.  I live in Muskego.
Thanks,
Don

Don, I had the guys from Flanners come out to do my 65" 16:9 Mits.  They spent the whole day and did a great job.  Even my wife noticed the differrence.  The Mits sets have a lot of "red push" and they need to do something with the scan velocity modulation to get the picture right.  I think it was money well spent.

What model Mitsubishi set do you have? Is it a 2002 Platinum or Platinum Plus? I have a 55819 and would like it calibrated, but I know for that series you have to defeat red push with a computer cable and a laptop. When I talked to the main service guy at Flanner's he had no idea what I was talking about when I mentioned the I2C fix to him. If they have since learned about it I would certainly consider giving them a call.

My Mits is a Diamond Series VS-60801.  I use it primarily for 4:3 TV/DVD viewing.  I do all of my widescreen DVD/HDTV on my Dwin projector with 100" screen.  Looks much better.  I am sure they would both look better with expert ISF calibration.  Any ideas on who can do both units?  Please help.

Mine is a platinum plus WS65857.  Don, I bet they could do your projector too.  Talk to Dan at Flanners.
