CompUSA is now Tiger Direct

A brand that no longer exists. Your point?

On November 2, 2012, it was announced that Systemax would drop both the CompUSA and Circuit City storefront brands, consolidating their businesses under the TigerDirect brand and website

A few months back I ended up with some dead time not close to home several times, so I shopped big screens at several stores. After about my forth visit of an hour or so it dawned on, wow these pictures are spectacular, but not something pleasant to watch for a whole movie. They are set up to catch your eye, and win vs something else during a 15 minute demo, not to watch movies on in your home.

Is it possible for a non ISF person to unlock those ISF adjustment modes?

the picture on setups in the stores are actually not calibrated at all and usually have their brightness turned all the way up with a vivid color mode. that is why 99% of people's tvs in their homes look like crap but to them it looks "good" because it looks like it did in the store. but the actual color tones of everything are way off of what they should actually be.

If an ISF person can access it then so can on non-ISF. Some TV's are easier than others.

However; without the right tools you won't be able to really calibrate anything.

BBY's so called ISF calibration is not because of three basic things:

1. They do not use a spectrometer
2. They do not input the settings via service menu
3. They do not calibrate for multiple inputs
