I'm alost there!  After calibrating with factory default of C50 and Br50, I set target for 130 and let it do it's thing and it's pretty darn close.  I found that some minor tweaking improves it very slightly and now it looks great.  I hope this isn't a no no.  What I did was after the calibration, I changed the front contrast control from 50 to 47 and I now I really like it.  
     My question is, is that OK to do?  Or after I set my factory default in the beginning of the process to Br50/C50, would I be better changing the contrast to 47 from 50 before I calibrate.  Do either of these ways seem OK, and if so, would you have a preference for which way I would do it, or doesn't make a difference whether I change the contrast before or after calibration?  Or any other suggestion how I could tweak this?

Thanks,
Matthew Kraus
