I remember when $100 could barely by a low capacity slow hard drive. This was not even a decade ago. I was reading an article on Seagate’s latest innovation in data storage technology and I came across this ad:
Thanks to increased network speeds and these huge hard drives, I haven’t purchased a blank CD or DVD in years.
Ensuring that customers get the highest value out of your products keeps them happy and coming back for more. This of course is assuming that you aren’t asking for another large sum of cash for this value maximizing. Well Best Buy is doing just that. They are charging their customers a whopping $300 to perform “calibration techniques” on purchased HDTVs to ensure that customers who purchased HDTVs get the best picture quality. There is some validity in this service as it is important to calibrate your TV’s picture quality, but $300 dollars is a pretty steep price.
If you want to get the most out of your TV, but you DON’t want want to fork over your savings to Best Buy, check out the AVSForums. This site has been around a long time, and has a ton of audiophiles and videophiles. If you have a question about your specific model, just post a question and usually you’ll get an answer quickly. Chalk another one up for Wisdom of the Crowd.
