Just wanted to point out that I have NEVER charged anyone £350 for calibrating an XDE plasma. My average is significantly lower.....perhaps no one I've done was polled to come up with this "average".

Also, the posted settings for greyscale are not of much use. You can see from the txt document that has been put here by someone with some tools that are relatively accurate for measuring this that he has VASTLY different settings for his two sources. The default USER temp is very cyan if you feed the panel the correct greyscale source. Better advice would be to use the MID-LOW temp as it's default is probably closest to correct. Some folk may find it too "warm" looking in which case go with MID temp until you can get someone to set it up accurately with the correct tools.

Pure Cinema: Standard is a good setting if you are sending ANY interlaced signal to the panel. The only time to turn it off would be if you see scrolling text on ticker tapes breaking up or if you see a sort of slow down affect on Corry/Easties/Footie......but the benefit of having it on should outweigh that for most folk I'd expect.
If you are sending progressive signal to the panel then it shoudl be set to OFF.

Hope this adds to the XDE knoweldge base.....
