    a good place to start. Some people take it a little more serious than others.

      A real ISF calibration accesses menus on many TVs you don't know exist and much like the the Wu, Ain't Nothin' Ta Fuck With.

      All that aside, it would be a waste of money to calibrate that Westinghouse LED.

      First question: yes isf is the shit
      Second question: that tv is a piece of shit
      Third answer, buy a better tv and get it pro isf'd.

      I've got the best buy isf on my Toshiba and it made a world of difference. Brought my color down so much I actually have almost real blacks on a damn dlp (not usualy). The best part was its half the brighness of the stock setting that it made my bulb last twice as long. Just one bulb in 4 years paid for the calibration.

        Lol. I want a LED tv. But can only afford $500. I dont wanna start a BS credit card with them cause they jack the interest rate so much youll end up paying twice as much. So I can only put $500 towards a new tv outta my pocket. Any ideas??

            Wait till Christmas, always deals around then and superbowl time. My dad bought a 46" Panasonic Plasma like 4 years ago for 750. I think they've come down to around 699 or so, just keep your eyes out. Sharp, Panasonic, Samsung are the 3 I'd look for, in that order.

                  I dont mind LCDs I just dont like the fact that if it isnt facing straight at you it darkens.. Thats how my 26" LCD tv is.

                        Yes personally I would, their new LCDs are the shit, espicially the 90, and the 4k2k comes out in spring, they already have a 52 and 70 ready to release.

                        Vizio is pretty much junk too, except is is better than Westinghouse. Ha

                          Best buy usually offers 0% interest on their cards for anywhere from 6-18 months depending on the amount you spend...

                              I'm opposite. Can't play games on smaller TV's since playing them on my 52" Mitsu and 55" Toshiba...

                                Soo since walmart is having this layaway program. Itll be easier for me to get a nice tv i want. Im gonna look at some sharps and samsungs. Should i be looking at LCD or Plasmas? Which would yall recommend? Are there true LED tvs out there for reasonable prices?
