juanchan Posted August 24, 2008 Share Posted August 24, 2008 Very nice. As others have said, I'm only using a 32" at the moment, but given the max I can sit from it is about 12 foot, it's plenty big enough for now! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaveK Posted August 24, 2008 Share Posted August 24, 2008 brilliant picture, does it not come calibrated for this? It can't. ISF calibration is done per source - basically, the input will vary so the calibration gives the best picture for that. When I had mine calibrated, each source (sky direct to TV, ps3 games, ps3 bluray, sky through surround amp) were calibrated separately. The pic was amazing. By the way - you don't want the 8th Gen Pioneer (which I've got) - you want the 9th Gen. Saw it at CEDIA - amazing......... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndrewOW Posted August 24, 2008 Share Posted August 24, 2008 Very nice. A couple of years ago I bought a 42" HD plasma for my lounge at the flat, as it was a huge room, it fitted nicely in there, but now I've moved to a house with a smaller lounge it looks enormous mounted there on the chimney breast! It now feels like you're right in there with everything! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaveK Posted August 24, 2008 Share Posted August 24, 2008 how do you get them calibrated??? You go somewhere like AV Forums where there are qualified ISF calibration engineers. Nothing is free of course - I think I paid around £300. Worth every penny though. Note that not all sets can be calibrated. PDP428XD can - PDP4280 cannot.

DaveK Posted August 24, 2008 Share Posted August 24, 2008 The settings above can be done to the 4280 as well - ISF calibration is more than that (it was quite fascinating to watch actually). I used the AV Forums settings before getting it ISF calibrated - and to be honest, I was dubious I would see much difference. But it made a very noticeable difference, especially to dark scenes.
