ISF DVD- Where do you get it? What do ISO techs know that we don't?

Posted by Samir on March 25, 1999 at 08:50:49:
Thank you for answering!
I only used the â€œLowâ€ temperature since out of the box it was the most appealing. It is the 6500 temperature. I used the Essentials DVD because that is all that I had.
I considered hiring a technician, but I am a DIYâ€™er and wanted to see what I could do on my own. Also the tech is a one shot deal, and if adjustments needed to be made later I would be dependant on them, I would rather learn on my own (teach a guy to fish and he can take care of himself). I am not sure what magical powers the ISO tech has that I cannot get. It is true that I am afraid to open up the TV box for fear that I will destroy everything. I am also afraid that after getting the ISO guy, it wonâ€™t look any better than I can do myself.
But the ISO DVD sounds like fun. Can you comment on how it is different than the Essentials? Is it just a second opinion? Contrast, brightness, and sharpness are fairly straightforward with the Essentials DVD. Color and Tint I had to just use my eyes since the blue filter and bars were way off. It looks good so far. (Also Convergence was easy with the TV, it even had an advanced feature for convergence that I did not try).
Thanks again
Samir
