    HDTV Calibration?

    I need to solicit the help of the true techies. Today, one of my kids was playing High Velocity Bowling on the PS3. Our luck ran out, and the controller went flying and hit the TV screen, thus ruining a 46" Sony Bravia that served my family well the last few years. Our extended warranty didn't cover the damage, so we were SOL. Luckily, the tax refund hit the bank and we were able to head out a couple of hours later and pick up a new one. We got a factory fresh 47" Vizio VL470M at Sam's Club (lots of bells a whistles).

    The picture is better than I expected, but it definitely could stand some calibration. I know there are DVDs you can buy to help choose the best settings for your HDTV, but does anyone know if there is anywhere online that you could download and burn the software for a calibration disk? Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks in advance. See you all on the battlefield (eventually).

    Indecision may or may not be my problem.

    I have used this before. The file can be found on most torrent sites if you do those.

    Looks like I might be able to find something here. I don't use torrents, but I'll give it a try. Thanks.

    Awesome! I'm appreciating the input. I see some settings listed about halfway down the page. If I get to burn a calibration disk, I'll try applying these settings to see what pans out. Thanks TLOG.

    got 360?

    if so, there is a Arcade game on Marketplace that will walk you though the necessary steps.

    Just go to Game Marketplace-->Independent-->All-->TV Calibration

    and its FREE!

    That's a big negatory on the 360. Thanks just the same. Much appreciated.
