Fred: No need to pay a technician to calibrate it. You can do it yourself. You can use the settings that cNet recommends.
Regarding power savings, you can’t do much if you want the best picture from it. Reducing light output helps but the picture quality suffers.

In the review of the Samsung PN50A650, it’s noted that that “no calibration is needed out of the box” and “just set it to Warm 2.” I have a PN50A550 and wonder if those comments apply as well? What about “power savings” as a result of calibration in this case?
My Samsung was just repaired (under warranty and about six months old) with up graded firmware and hardware. The tech suggested I consider “calibration” for maximum life, better viewing and power savings. They charge $200. I bought this from the Internet and just set ip up myself out of the box and have done no “fine tuning.” So, I have been reading alot to satisfy myself and this website has been most helpful. Thanks.

@joseph: If you’re not playing the same game a lot and you are mixing content (watch movies/TV at least as much) you can go with a plasma. However, if you use to play the same game over and over and watch other content less, you may end up with burn-in at some point. The best plasma TV models listed on this site and the best LCD models from http://www.TheBestLCDTV.com are a good start. Just see which ones match your price.
