Yea it took me a good hour or so to do the convergance. I just ordered a Geometry Grid Chart so i can allign my geometry on the tv. 65 dollars but i think its worth it if you do it yourself. Instead of paying someone, even though they are a prof. to do it. Might as well learn myself.

Where can I find information on performing a calibration? Can you guys give me a run down of whats involved? I'd like to atleast attempt one myself before I shell out $500 for a pro to do it.

Right now shab you shouldnt have to worry to much onyour calibration. For starters make sure you turn down your brightness and sharpness numbers. I have mine at around 42 for brightness and 34 for sharpness. It will depend on your lighting and your display. I dont know how Samsung is but on my Toshiba it really helps. If you were to buy the avia disc it would help a lot on just figuring out where your levels should be at. You want to be at least under 50 for your brightness and sharpness.

The Xbox is not a progressive scan DVD player.

MSP suggested a modded Xbox instead of a regular player. I doubt anyone has modded a 360 (well maybe but not really widespread).

Oh oh, didn't see that up there. Yeah no one has a modded 360 atm, heh.

how much does it cost to replace a dlp tv bulb?

Hubcap · 11-30-2005, 08:36 AM

200-250 dollars

Chair · 11-30-2005, 08:42 AM

you must be pretty dedicated to tv to invest that much into one, then invest a constant ammount to replace bulbs, etc..

From what I've read the bulb only need replacement about every 2 years. And the price of bulbs seems to be coming down.

I have no idea what technology I'll eventually buy, probably LCD projection.
