I had my old RPTV pro calibrated a few years back. I no longer have it. ( sold it to my brother in law ) . Anyways, I'm pretty sure when he was all done, the settings were saved as the factory default. If something ever happened to the settings, all I had to do was a reset and I'd be back in business.

As long as I know, we the older qualified installers does has the home theater installation experience or does has the certification on this, but the newly trained DTV or Dish tech don't know what the hack is this. Well, you got what you paid for.
Hmm, the point is even if you know what you're doing if I (the customer) didn't ask you to calibrate my TV, please don't do it.
But an ISF calibrator can rest your factory settings to be the default and that default is the settings that he/she set.
Interesting. You're saying they can set both greyscale and user settings as the default for all modes? That was not done on my calibration of my Pioneer 6020 and I was not aware that it could be done. Thanks for the info.

Not making light of your situation, you have every right to be PO'd because you paid to have the set calibrated & the installer went in to the user settings & screwed it up with out the need / authority to do so, but I have to ask & please don't take this as a bash on you, but by you're quote above, how could you really tell the difference between adjusting the user controls yourself till you got a picture you liked & the paid calibration picture? I've had 2 LCD's (not many, I know) but neither were calibrated. I just went into the customer controls and worked each one until I was satisfied w/ the picture... it may take a few days of tweaking, but I always made it there.
I've done TV work for years in the past (not doing it now) but I always had to cave in to the customer because when ever a set (CRT, not Panel) came in for repair, we always tuned the drives, bias & customer controls for the best pix. However, if they've been looking @ a pix w/ a high red drive, for example (really red backgrounds, etc) they'd always say that the picture wasn't as good as it was before they had it fixed. Guess it's just what you're used to, huh?
If its really messed, reset to factory defaults and look up your tv's owner thread at avsforum, usually people post settings.

If they adjust and set calibration through the service menu then thats the new default, so yes re-setting to factory default from the user menu will bring back the new calibration settjngs. Their is a key stroke sequence to reset service menu settings to factory defalut. Anyway, thats how my sony works I found out after messing up some setting in the service menu.
