Avical costs $450 for their highest level of service ($50 travel fee depending on location) and that was the highest that I saw doing my research. Most of the others in my area were around $300. I picked avical due to their experience with my set and the recommendations on avsforum. You can check the prices via the tech's websites by finding them on that isf website I posted earlier. Again, when looking for service, be sure to ask what they will do to your tv. PS.. |

Again I am just going by what is said on the sites that know the most about this stuff. Either way its a lot of money and even 500 bucks can move you from 1 level HDTV to the next with prices coming down the way they have so my basic argument still stands. Do you get a 500 dollar better HDTV or get a cheaper HDTV and get it calibrated. Ill still bet that most people would prefer to dump that extra cash into a better model TV then a calibration for a cheaper TV.
PS.. Avical is based in NY and CA...their top teir service is $450...thats about normal. Like I said, most in my area (Dallas) ranged from $250-$350 (some with travel fees). Maybe it can reach $1000 if repairs are needed, but I wouldnt include that since its more tv repair. |
