It is now practicable to dive into the service menus that hold the keys to far better images than the front panel controls can muster. In addition, having state of the art testing and measuring equipment at my side allows
for demonstrably accurate video from all types of displays. After about 100 hours of settling time
for sets with CRT’s, (less for digital monitors or projectors) TV's can be calibrated for
absolutely stunning results.
I really like pure pictures.
I think this came from my GrandDad who had the back off of every new set immediately after getting it
out of the box. The new bigger displays would have found him a very happy man indeed!
Good Viewing,
