Frankly, we ISF techs were too ambitious with our "ISF Ready" chart. Manufacturers started popping up, some buying others panels/electronics, some from scratch. We were inundated. There may be 100 working ISF techs on the planet. By working, I mean those of us that actually make a living delivering accuracy to those that care.

Because we do care.... manufacturers are now "seeing the light" and have coalesced to a major degree. They have implemented controls in both the user and service sections that allow for accuracy If, and it is a big IF, measurements are taken and verified. Huge step...Huge to quote a very pretty woman.

Very nearly all displays today have the controls we need. Some in the open, some not. Still, if it were not for the few that actually want their images to be those of the original artists, you'd all have sears/roebuck 27inchers blinding you on a bright day inside.

If you want your "wall big" display to deliver absolutely the image intended, you will still have to have it measured and adjusted to do so. It is just getting easier for us (ISF), as the providers of CE and content realize that you want perfection!
