Calibration: I didnt buy it but is this a load of BS or what??

Professional calibration will extend the life of your set, especially if you are using it with the "out of the box" settings. An ISF calibrationist can access the service menu and adjust the color temperature using what's called a colorimeter. Have you ever wondered which color temp setting is the correct one? Calibration will adjust the temp to 6500 degrees Kelvin, which happens to be the industry standard. On many sets, the warm setting is close, but not exactly 6500 degrees. The monitors that are used for color correction on most DVD movies are also calibrated to the same standard. A calibration will also optimize the Contrast and Brightness settings, along with Color, Tint, and the one setting that is NEVER adjusted correctly on any set I've seen, Sharpness. Your set will appear to be higher in resolution after it is properly calibrated. It will prevent colors from "bleeding" so you get a sharper appearance. I used to have a Sony XBR set, and I calibrated it, and it made me not want to sell it anymore, that's how much of a difference it made. After some time, I decided I wanted a bigger screen, so I now have a Pioneer. Once I calibrated it, it is the best looking TV I have ever seen. Panasonic makes a great product too and your set would be a very close second to my Pioneer after you had it properly calibrated. So for $300 you will realize the absolute best performance potential that your Panasonic plasma is capable of. If that is something that you are interested in, calibration is well worth the money. If there was a way for me to show you the before and after picture quality, you would for sure want your set calibrated. Skin tones always look accurate and team jerseys always look like the correct color.

I doubt that it is "accurate" in terms of being calibrated to any significant extent. I just line the up the disk to where I want it and it is very close to my floor pumps reading. I just use it to finish my ride if I get a flat. If I'm within 10 psi I'm happy enough to get home.

No, I did not calibrate the colour settings. I'd say the picture quality was just great - out of the box. I know other models or brands need to be calibrated, but in this case, I don't know how the picture could be any better.

I never calibrated and just started using it. I took several packages to the post office and everything checked out perfectly. They explain how to calibrate it in the manual.

Calibrating does, indeed, help, and it's really easy to do (just follow the on-screen instructions).Out of the box, my kit was about 20% off from reality (on a 10K run, it was only showing 8K traveled). I used the local high school track to calibrate the kit by doing a measured 400m lap around the track, and now I'm within 1.25% of accurate measurement which is good enough for me (it's still showing on the low side). This last weekend's 5 mile race shows up as 4.94 miles on nikeplus.com, but that's good enough for me. Hope this helps you.

I do not believe this unit required calibration. I checked it against some 1 to 4 oz letters I had and it registered correctly. I have used this for up to 13 oz, including flats, and have sent a lot of mail using it. So far, no issues. Good unit for the price.

For me it was ready to rock and roll. However I would suggest you run some basic tests to make sure yours is, and that the calibration is to your personal liking.

I found no calibration feature. You can contact the manufacturer and they will answer your question further.

Yes, the calibration file is provide by Dayton Audio (UMM-6 and EMM-6), or MiniDSP (Umik-1).Cross Spectrum is a resaler.Sorry, I am dont speak english very well.Alvaro Jr from Brazil

It is noted as being calibrated to ± 4 percent accuracy. I'm not sure if a report is included.

To be honest I never bother calibrating mine, and things have turned out okay. I did realize that was kind of dumb so compared the known weight of an object (weighed on another, calibrated one) to the weight shown on my scale and it was close enough for my purposes (like off by 0.1 or 0.01 (can't remember if there's two points after the decimal or not)). Though you can always calibrate w a nickel or other coin w a known weight of course.

If connections are correct and the MCACC calibrations does not work per instructions. send it back. Amazon is pretty good about this....

Maybe you have a defective one. I am on my second and calibrate using a pH 7 neutral solution. Using the screwdriver provided and the little screw on the back I have no problem moving it up or down. This is my second one and both worked flawlessly.

I don't think you can calibrate it. I haven't seen anything on the device or the app that lets you do it. Myself and 3 other people I know use it on a regular basis and have never had this issue. You might have a defective unit.

The device is not certified by a calibration lab. That's why the low price.

You shouldnt have to calibrate it my jl wasnt calibrated it sounds great just hook it up and see how it sounds.

The one I received was pretty close about 0.2 if I remember correctly. It is not really an issue though as it comes with chemicals to mix calibration solutions. You just need to mix it with distilled water.
