Refocusing lenses on rear projection TV

Howdy:

I am in the Wash DC area. I inherit two projection TVs.
But it seems that the adjustment is a little off.
Would anyone know of a good person or company that does this kind of job?
How much does this cost?

Thanks

The TVs are a couple years old, but I don't know how old.

Is the service I am talking about called "ISF calibration"?

ISF calibration does a lot more than just refocusing the lenses. But you could find someone and ask how much just doing what you want would cost.

Thanks.

I did a search and found that Patman used this company

Any other one that you would recommend in the DC area?

If the projection TV's are older SD models and have CRT damage or any other major problems I wouldn't waste my time with a $350+ ISF calibration that will not help clear up existing problems like bad CRT's.

I would suggest to you to setup the TV's, do convergence and calibrate them with AVIA or another calibration DVD and watch them for a few weeks to be sure they don't have anything major wrong with them (burn-in damage or other wear on CRT's, bad convergence boards that won't keep CRT's converged etc.) and after that time if you think the $350 + investment in a ISF calibration is worth it then go ahead but remember if there is something wrong with the TV's and you get them ISF calibrated and the problems appear you have wasted a lot of money for nothing!

Good Luck!
