    Hey Guys,
     
    Looking for a little bit of advice or direction please.
     
    I am thinking about calibrating my tv and from what i gather a professional service is just too expensive so I would like to attempt it myself.
     
    My tv is actually a couple of years old (it's the excellent Panasonic 42G10) but I've only recently regularly started watching blu-rays and I'm finding it hard to get settings I like.
     
    I've found a guide to home calibration which seems to be very clear and concise and something I could definitely manage
    http://www.curtpalme.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=10457
     
    There seems to be two possible products for home calibration with the better option being the X-Rite Eye-One LT.
     
    So, a few things then:
     
    Should I calibrate my tv?
    Is this Eye-One IT worth it?
    Is it possible to rent or loan the Eye-One?
    My tv has 4 default picture modes whereby the settings can be adjusted indivudally. By calibrating am I basically overwriting one of the modes with the outputs of the calibration?
     
    Any and all advice really appreciated as I am just starting out on my research.
