I don't know that I would consider paying someone $200-300 to calibrate my t.v. That would be like adding 30%+ to the cost of the tv! You would never recoup that money, and the fact is, most people wouldn't even know the difference. If you are hardcore enough to worry about something like that, chances are you can do it yourself.

I own a Sony Bravia, with 1080p, produced in 2007. This is Japan though, so the 2008 models are where Sony started adding the power saving features in America. I am unaware of any other companies with settings like this. All it does it lower the backlight intensity. You have high, medium, low, and off. I keep mine on low. Respective wattages are something like 150, 130, 50, and 30. At the off setting the whole screen is turned off and only the speakers work, so I never use that.
