I purchased my 85" Sony Bravia 9 TV from Robert Zohn's Value Electronics last summer and I opted for the "VIP Calibration Service" which "includes a full Q/C for stuck pixels, abnormal banding, tinting, screen uniformity & any defect in the TV. Then we do a proper break-in, then our calibrator DeWayne takes care of the top professional calibration."

https://valueelectronics.com/product...r90-4k-hdr-tv/

At the time I believe that the price for this service was $700, but after some generous discounts were applied I think that I actually only paid $400. The website today says that the price is $850 to calibrate and Q/C check an 85" TV. I think that it is worth the cost even without any discounts.

I feel that the Q/C check was as valuable as the calibration service. It was great not having to worry about how my luck would fare in the "panel lottery," especially for a TV of this size.

I have enjoyed my new TV for 7 months now and I am happy that I chose this added service. I have watched a variety of content across several formats and I am well pleased with what I am seeing.
