I agree. I have a six year old Dwin Front Projector and have recently
purchased DirecTv's HR10 250 high Def Receiver. My calibrator spent 12 hours
(his first Dwin calibration) which cost me $350. The best money I have ever
spent. The geometry was incorrect, the RGB levels and Temp were all out of
whack. The picture is now unbelievable, particularly the HD programming.

Kudos to Richard and Mastertech! Anybody that can make our wives appricate our toys must be doing something right!
I thought I'd drop you a note to let you know that Sunday, during the Vikings-Giants football game, my wife (who wouldn't know HD from a slide show), looked at the picture and said "It _does_ look better".

The Samsung 1080P sets won't accept 540P over the HDMi input.
When I get my set recalibrated, I'll look into having it done at 720p when
using the DVD player. Right now it has a better picture when input at 1080i
instead of 720p, but it was also calibrated using a 1080i input.

Best solution is to pop in DVE and go to the vertical and horizontal resolution test patterns and check at 480P, 720P and 1080i. Select the best overall response.
With my Oppo DVD set for 720P and Samsung HLP5063 set for an aspect of expand I get a shockingly perfect response. Can't say the same for the big rig down stairs in the vertical domain...
Happy New Year!

Any particular reason you're having yours recalibrated?
I had a 61" for a period of time. That was calibrated at 1080i over
component. It's since been replaced with a smaller 56" set, also a 1080P
model. I may use a different DVD player for calibration this time around.
I will say going from a calibrated set back to an "out of the box" set you
really see the benefits of calibration. More so than going the other
direction, perhaps because I watched the adjustment process and witnessed
the incremental changes to PQ during.

That actually makes sense since you now have created a habitual reference for correct imaging.
Happy New Year!
