Re: Wide Screen TV - Convergence

When you buy a new TV the factory setting's are set to look good to the consumer on the showroom floor. Generally the contrast is way to high, sharpness is way off, black level, etc. What you should do is find a ISF certified technician in your area to calibrate your tv for you. It is fairly expensive but well worth it. You can find a dealer by going to imagingscience.com . Or you could get "video essentials" or "AVIA guide to home theater" but this won't be near as good as having your set professionaly calibrated.
