        Just because you have the same set as someone elsedoesn't mean you will get the same results so be careful. Other things such as lighting will have an effect.

        A Professional calibration is always the best route if the cashflow permits it. You won't regret it

            No doubt....I just had good luck with other people's settings, and rather not pay for a pro right now

              Well you think you had good luck but you have never seen what your set looks like calibrated either.

                  They do, but unless you have tools to measure the light produced, it is just a baseline. It is better than nothing.

                  Usually if you get some settings off AVS, you may need to tweak a few things based off your viewing environment and preferences, but other than that, they will be very good.
