Color Calibration

Hello my good fellows!

I am planning to get a new Plasma TV. I have my heart set on the G10 series... Still decided what an appropriate size for my little apartment will be lol.

Well, I do not plan on getting the TV for at least a month. But I am doing all of my research well ahead of time.

I know plasmas are known for producing awesome pictures and colors, and i'm sure the preset will be just fine.

But i'm curious if purchasing a calibrator would be worth it. And if so which one should I go with?

Do any of you guys have experience using one of these things? I personally have never used one, but I have read good things about them.

Normally when I calibrate my monitors I do it by eye... but my eyes aren't exactly the best out there! :-P
