Geek Squad "Uber" Calibration - Worth it? - Blu-ray Forum

aristotles · 09-19-2007, 05:34 PM

Is calibration beyond the settings you can access via the picture setting through your remote even necessary for an LCD flat panel? I can understand how DLP or other rear projection systems might need adjustment but LCD is basically a digital monitor.

It seems like a waste of money to me to get someone to alter your settings on a flat panel. Just take your remote and start experimenting.

I personally have discovered that turning off Sharpen, edge enhancement and detail enhancement gives me the best picture for all cable shows and the best picture for all but the softest encoded Blu-ray/HD DVD titles.

This has been answered above, twice I think. Yes it is different.

I wouldn't trust the Geek Squad to plug in my TV let alone go in and mess with the settings!
