You get what you pay for. First, most lamps change over time, and that change is not linear. Thus, taking someone else's settings and expecting them to work for you will be a big hit or miss scenario.
But, its like trying to tune up a sports car, right. You can afford the car, but not the maintenance. :)
Starting with settings like this will get you at least 90% of the way to the best picture your set will ever be able to show, without professional calibration. That's going to be a whole lot better than nothing.

I half agree with you. Settings by one person will not necessarily work for another.
However, the outrageous cost for "professional" calibration

However, the outrageous cost for "professional" calibration is just that....outrageous.
How will Geek Squad ever continue to sell their $300 calibration plan?!?!
