Received new HDTV last week (a Sony). I remember reading some article in the early 1990's that if you had an expensive unit, you may consider paying to have it properly calibrated (tweaked / fine tuned, etc). Which at that time could go for a few hundred dollars but would be worth it. I have long lost that article and it's source and I could use any suggestions on what type of professional entity to look up in the Yellow Pages (and the BBB) and what costs to expect in today's prices.
My unit certainly could use it: I've observed enough digital glitches which may or may not be indigenous to Digital TeleVision. And, when I watch a scene where there are fonts on the display (such as names and numbers), they are not clear and crisp as they are on my old analog set. New set problems, or, cracks in the digital medium? I wonder.
