Are there any TV repair shops still in business? Most of the ones around here shut down and went into the installation business, putting in wall mounts and wiring home theater systems etc.
When you look for one, make sure they are an ISF calibrator.

As you know I have another thread going about purchasing a 60 or so inch plasma. Thing is, the set I am looking to replace is a 55 inch Mitsubishi HD1080 like yours. Are you saying that if I simply have Direct TV pipe in HD television my picture will improve substantially? Hmmm...
It might, I was on Dish and used an off air antenna from radio shack that I bought for $30. It worked just fine. I switched to DirecTV because they were lower priced for what I wanted. The HD I get from directv works very well. I can't compare it to a plasma in store because I can't view it side by side, unfortunately none of the electronic stores will let me take several home to test on good will. Just poor customer service on their part if you ask me.
I will say this, my TV is sharp enough for me not to drop almost $2000 on a plasma or LCD. Do yourself a favor and test the DirecTV reception anyways, you should be watching national geographic and discovery in HD, you don't know what you're missing.
Got the Samsung PN58A550 set up today. I'm lovin' it big time...finally get to enjoy blu-ray. Unfortunately my new Cox HD box seems to be screwing up royally. Half the channels are black-screens, and the others are freezing every five minutes for a few seconds. Odd.

That's your first problem right there. My mother has Cox and has all sorts of issues with it all the time. Granted, she doesn't have the HD, just the digital. Their high speed internet is fabulous, but I can't stand their cable.

Reason: added more to it.

Yeah, I've heard a lot of that now after researching box troubles. Good thing is, the first guy they sent out was awesome. I left him a detailed note (I couldn't be there) saying what the problem was and that basically I already tried everything he is going to try. He switched out the box right away without checking anything else, and it's been working perfectly since. This is the only problem I've ever had with Cox, and I'd say I'm very happy the HD service now that it's fixed. Maybe I just got lucky, but 2 extra days without HD wasn't too bad...
Is the one that goes over your entire tv Its like a screen and then its hooked up to a laptop and then the laptop does the rest..its really cool..Tvs look awesome when its calibrated rite..
