After a display is about a year old, it is advisable to get a recalibration about once a year. Usually this is considered a "touch up" and the charge is much less than a full calibration because the tech is ajusting for drift and won't be spending hours in the Service Menu (like the initial calibration) to get things right because the preliminary work has already been done.

However, it is entirely up to you as it's your money. Some people may go 2, 3 or 5 years before they're willing to have an ISF tech come out again, some people see greater/lesser value in an ISF calibration, some displays have a greater/lesser drift than others and some people spend a greater/lesser amount of time in front of their display.
