DVD Reviews of Digital Video Essentials: HD Basics [Blu-ray]

DVD Review: Good for what it is
Summary: 5 Stars

Product 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.

DVD Review: Great for a setting heavy display
Summary: 4 Stars

This is a great and simple calibration tool if your display has all the settings available for tweaking.

DVD Review: no help
Summary: 1 Stars

I gave this one to my son as he has the blue-ray.Same result no help.I can't go off and tell you why exactly they did nothing for us but every thing in there was just basic instructions that you get out of the manual.

DVD Review: Probably a good tool to have for an HD TV.
Summary: 4 Stars

I do believe that this product is well worth the money it costs. I only purchased it to use the test patterns. To figure out how to use them, you have to go through rather long and boring sections of the video. They should probably sell a disk with just the test patterns and a pamphlet on how to use them. I would have paid more to not go through the other stuff on the disk.

DVD Review: Good HD Primer for Tech-Heads
Summary: 4 Stars

Provides a good amount of info for those interested in a fairly detailed knowledge of the HD technology. A minor failure is a cumbersome navigation scheme that may leave initiates confused as to where they are.
