DLPs DON'T NEED ISF calibration....In FACT they don't even have adjustments for gamma in them
ISF Calibration is mostly for CRT Projection TV sets.....
So getting it calibrated is money out of your pocket and into somebody else's...same with the Calibration DVDs.....
This is what you do...set every picture /color control half way ....THEN set the picture or Contrast control to 3/4 or Full and not one bit less....
Even with Brand NEW CRT projection units, IF you set it to these settings....you'll be so close to ISF standards you couldn't see any difference...
YES I HAVE calibrated my brand new Hitachi CRT projection and at most, I may have adjusted my Blue drive down ONE whole number!! That's how tight the specs are off the manufacturing floor !
Set it to the settings I told you...you'll be happy with the picture.

Callibration is both TV and source dependent.
You will need a calibration DVD such as the ISF/Monster calibration DVD or Video essentials or check your DVDs in the back for the THX Optimizer Logo and run their tests

If you want the best HD picture, you should have your television calibrated by an Imaging Science Foundation (ISF) certified technician.
To find an ISF-trained dealer with calibration equipment in your area, check here: http://www.imagingscience.com/isf-trained.cfm
If you don't want to spend several hundred dollars to have your set professionally calibrated, there are options to do it yourself. Buy "Digital Video Essentials" on DVD or HD-DVD and it will guide you through the calibration process for your entire home theater system.
