 Rating:  - Digital Video EssentialsFound it rather disappointing. I have the original video essentials dvd and didn't find anything on the blue ray version to justify replacing it. Rating:  - I can see the differenceThere is a LOT of information on this disc. They explain how surround sound works and the best setups. They discuss HD video and how to get the optimal image from your TV. Worth the price. It really helped me configure my HD TVs to look their best. Rating:  - TV Alignment made easyI was skeptic about purchasing this as I didn't really know if I needed it, but after buying it, I realized I should have had this since the day I went High-Def. It has many advanced alignment features for the most elite users, but in my case, I wanted to know the state of the equipment I bought and properly align it to get the best image and sound quality. This DVD does just that. I got a better understanding of the picture and what each of the components of the image I see represents.

Out of the box, TVs are set wrong to grab attention on display in a store. Rating: - Good for what it isProduct works just as described; I just didn't realize how difficult it can be to calibrate a TV. Be prepared to spend a lot of time with this disc if you intend to do a correct calibration. This is NOT something that you can just sit down with for a couple of hours and figure out. If you only want some improvement, and if you only want to spend a little bit of time to get that improvement, go rent a THX DVD (like star wars), and use the THX calibration that can be found in the menu on the disc. |
