you can search in forums see if someone has calibrationated their set and has shared the results.

Hi Alex,That does mean that it can be calibrated. We also have a video to walk you through the process see it here. http://youtu.be/uN5Xrm3CPEw

Calibrate it with a 7.0 calibration solution. I also recommend storing it in their storage solution. Be sure to read the manual or you may make incorrect assumptions about certain things.

I posted an answer for the Wiguard panel, but there is another meter available that is available that appears to be a stand alone device, connected inline to measure the digital signal at the TV set or near by.

Yes, my local contracted service center did a great job. It was very expensive though. At this point, a new TV is probably less expensive.

A pro calibrator goes to your house, connects expensive meter/computer equipment to your set and digs deep into your tv's settings to adjust all picture parameters to meet HDTV standards. The purpose of this is to get your display to show images that are as close as possible to what the director/film maker/video editor intended for you to see. I will always have whatever TV I own pro calibrated so I know I'm seeing the truest possible image reproduction. This isn't necessary of course, it's a matter of preference but nearly all sets benefit from calibration. Deep black level, excellent shadow detail, crisp but detailed whites and sharp but not unnaturally sharp images. Hope that answers your question.

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

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.

from a local TV repair shop. The same thing happened to my tv and now it just sits because I was told it was l would cost more to repair Tham what I paid.

As far as I understand, you are unable to successfully calibrate these TVs as hidden menus accessible to professional calibrators aren't readily available to the general public.

I believe you can if you have physical buttons on your monitor to change the settings. If it's through software through your computer I don't believe so because the calabration program is running

Possibly, depending on how off your colors are. Remember that sometimes calibration results in a reduction of the brightness of a screen or a projected image. This may detract from the viewing experience.

I have purchased both P65ZT60(brand new) and P65VT60(2000+ hrs display model) and applied calibration settings available on the internet to both of them(identical settings). End results were identical images on both tv. I custom tweaked it a little on contrast and brightness to give it inky black and extra kick. But you should be fine copying professional calibrations available on the internet.(or use the one I just posted on the Amazon).

Given that there is no difference between a TV and a monitor other than size, you can easily calibrate a TV with it. You would of course have to be using the TV as a display for a computer in order to run the software though.

Interesting. Mine worked as soon as I tried it. Didn't need to calibrate. Try restarting the power on the Roku, and check the remote's batteries. Otherwise, I'd send it back.

Also purchased a Used-Like New set from amazon warehouse which said it had "minor cosmetic damage to housing" What damage??? I inspected the TV and the only "cosmetic issues" I found was dust! It was definately worth the purchase from amazon warehouse considering the $300 savings. Haven't posted a review, but if you would like calibration settings for your LN46a650, I definately recommend going to the AVS Forums @ avsforums.com. They have a whole thread there where people post their different calibration settings!

I can tell you that the Netflix app on the tv has its own picture settings seperate of other inputs on the tv. Found that out when I was attempting to calibrate by spreadsheet.
