 NEW YORK (AP) - High-definition TV sets are big sellers these days, and no wonder, since the picture can be amazing. But a lot of people seem to care more about how cool the flat panels look on the wall than what the picture looks like: It's common to see the image stretched horizontally to fill the screen, giving even the most attractive anchor a bloated look, or the color is off, giving everyone the reddish skin tone of the recently boiled.
The fact is picture quality varies quite a bit among HDTV sets, and calibration is often necessary to make the image look the way it should.
I tried three different ways of doing this: two do-it-yourself methods, and one professional calibration.
