actually Best Buy does not have ISF guys. Magnolia Home Theater does. You hjave to go to a store with a Magnolia Department to arrange for a calibration service.

We sent our regional ISF calibrator to all the schooling any independent contractor goes to. Do not underestimate a major company doing things right. The cost is 300. The Specialist comes out to calibrate 2 sources (or 2 inputs depending), with each receiving its own day/night setting.

I have had many clients that say it was well worth it, with only one client, who owned a Fujitsu I sold him, who said they did not notice a "big difference." But even he said the deail was a little better and the colors were more lifelike. Funny enough he said he liked the colors richer than more lifelike anyway!!! lol

Some clients are actually buying down, maybe a lower model Samsung or the Sharp LCD instead of the Sony and getting a calibration done. They seem to feel the difference becomes even less and it costs them 300 instead of a grand or more.
