Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Advice from Axiom Owners Anyone paid a professional to calibrate their TV?

I'm not sure if AVE will get you 80% there. To me, the real issue is the importance of the image. If you are not overly picky about the accuracy, and generally enjoy your set now, get the disk and make it a bit better. If you really focus on the details of the monitor and accuracy is important, then from what I have read all these years, pro calibration is the way to go. $400 is either a big waste of money - if you don't care all that much - or a very well priced "upgrade" if you do care a great deal about the picture.
