Question : Will HDTV calibration extend the life of the TV and also reduce it’s power consumption?
It is a 60″ Pioneer Elite Plasma HDTV. The picture is awesome right out of the box so I’m not that concerned about enhancing the picture. But I am interested in reducing it’s power consumption and extending the life of the TV if calibration will do this. A technician wanting to perform the service told me that it would.

You will get NO SIGNIFICANT advantage in reducing power consumption or extending the life of a TV, be it LCD, plasma, CRT, or rear projection by having the set professionally “calibrated.” Chances are, you won’t even see a real significant difference in the picture quality, unless yours is really screwed up.

Calibration is a complete scam. Old tv techs had to find something that they could charge money for with new tv sets, so they came up with this.
