As title

I passed my isf certification on Saturday and my CEDIA EST2 certification just before that.

Rather chuffed to say the least.

peterattheboro · 14 Feb 2011 at 18:14

What's that for people who don't know?

And congrats

zebedeee · 14 Feb 2011 at 18:15

congrats, does it mean you have intellegence tho?

joking

Princey · 14 Feb 2011 at 18:46

The isf is the governing body for professional video display calibrations and CEDIA is the home cinema equivalent of Corgi and Safe Gas.

I had no idea you needed these qualifications/certifications to be able to install a home entertainment centre

I wish there was ! In my house it's hard enough to get them to replace the blooming thing

It's a bit more in-depth that just mounting a TV on the wall if that's what your implying. The last installing we completed was a 12 seat cinema with a value of £125,000.

Rofl @ dirtyjester's comment.

don't get me started on the topic of certificates... they are nothing more than wool to pull over ppl's eyes.

edit - don't get me wrong princey, you should be proud you have learnt someone elses knowledge on how to do that stuff, but the certicates aren't worth the paper they are printed on.

The age old adage applies I think... If you have nothing nice to say...

Congratulations Princey. Does this mean you can professionally calibrate displays?

It does indeed, I already have calibration equipment now too.

Mate that adage stopped being valid at secondary school.

By no means am I questioning the skill levels. I certainly couldn't do it.

you'd be surprised what there are professional qualifications to install.

How about a professional certificate in the use of a lawn mower

Do you have any pics of this install or some like it thanks.

OP : what did they teach you with regards to the cost of HDMI cables vs their effectiveness ?

There are no blacks on the V10, only light greys

How many times, there is no difference in picture quality. Maybe on build quality as I've seen an expensive QED HDMI cable loose the gold metal connectors. This is why I tend to stick with the moulded plastic design found on the cheap ones

IMHO cheap > expensive

can you see a difference, I can and it's called the placebo effect
