Is this tv calibration sound good?

certified technical and they will gave you the SpyderTV Colorimete ($200 value)

Is this better than those geek squad calibration?

But is it geek squad used more pricey equipment calibration?

Hi,

I own the Spyder II color meter. It was the first color meter you could buy under $100. You can buy the Spyder II meter for $59.99 right now on Amazon so there goes the $200 value part.

Many color meters cost ~$3000. Chances are this type of gear is what most Geek Squad teams would use.

I don't trust my Spyder II these days. And filter based meters are never calibrated and can not be recalibrated.

I would not sign up for this.
