[QUOTE="user 1447, post: 368677, member: 1447"] sure ..... but that is from the viewpoint of an expert - the question is how many people who read the reviews are experts ..... hence understand the need for that calibration my argument is that most magazines nowadays have less educational articles than in the past ie they are informative about spec's and humorous and have the subjective analysis part down to a "T" but there is less material about how to go about getting a good result for your A/V needs than we used to get in the past ..... and yet there are many more consumers nowadays ..... most of which are at the beginner stage IMHO yes the calibration is a good thing but so would some articles about what it does and why it should be done ...... and yes i know theres plenty information available on the net but having some of it repeated in the mag would add value to the mag IMHO and would benefit many people who dont have the time or the knowhow to be able to search for this info on the internet once a base is established in this manner i reckon the calibration would make more sense but as it stands still more than 90% of the people i personally know will not even know what calibration is and would not understand it even if it slapped them in the face ie they would think that a TV with a color and brightness adjusted to their preference is actually calibrated ..... talk to one of these "regular joes" about calibrating to 6500k and they would think that this is the price of the TV :facepalm: whereas very few would understand that we are talking about color temperature (if any at all) [/QUOTE]
