ALthough i could just copy someone elses settings I think there is more to it than that. I guess theres a reason why they charge so much for calibration. Thanks cman for the informative post.
Thanks!

Most people on the forums just eyeball the settings with a calibration disc. I tried a couple settings myself from what people tried and found that the colour was too warm and people were looking a little redder than they should.
It gives you a basic guideline to play with, but it's definately not fine tuned or considered properly calibrated. Just better than factory presets. You will need to pro to come in with the colorimeter.
I know someone that can calibrate tv's for you I can TRY to get him to swing you a deal. I know they charge $300 for one input. Maybe I can get him to do $300 to calibrate 2-3 inputs. He's using some sort of $8K calibration tool or something by Sencore. Not sure which model.
