My Television is Calibrated

I finally managed to get my television calibrated by a professional. His name is Gregg Loewen, and he was nice enough to post on the forums a description of what he did.

Click below for a graph of pre-calibration vs. post-calibration values for color temperature.

Note how close the post-calibration numbers (yellow) are to total perfection, at a color temperature of 6500k (blue).
