Sorry I didn't respond sooner, but I was in Australia at the CEDIA show doing training.
I'll be breaking forum rules to post pricing at this stage, so please email me through my Smokey Joe profile for pricing or information.

What I will say about pricing is that it will be of various levels to try and suit the different requirements of each individual. I'll be investing most of any profits into more and advanced equipment. Currently I am waiting on some gear from the US in that regard.

I'll be adding to my above post soon about various calibration levels, ie what you can do yourself.
I think it is important to understand what can be done, and what limits your equipment has.
Simply, if you have enough adjustment controls you can do something, if not options can be limited.
Every device is different.

Regards
Nigel

I'd just like to post an endorsement of Nigel's work. Bought a plasma that suffered from a fairly colourful grey scale (not uncommon for these TVs by all accounts). Made my viewing experience fairly frustrating with magenta and green tones appearing in grey roads or in the shading that you tend to see on white or cream walls of indoor scenes.

I had chased this issue round and round with the user accessable RGB gain and offset controls, but couldn't dial it out.
The retailers were unsympathetic, and of course just tried to sell me higher quality cables.

With the aid of calibrated measurements, Nigel was able to straighten things out nicely, and provide an image reminsicent of my trusty old CRT, that I had watched happily for 13 odd years.

At a relatively small fraction of the cost of the TV, I would recommend this to anyone who is less than fully satified with the performance of their TV. It just makes sense if you think about it.

Cheers,
Johnny.
