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

DVD Review: Made a visual differnce
Summary: 5 Stars

I have a 720p projector and it always seemed to be a little dull in color and contrast. I have tried a few of the free calibration tools like you get on some Blu-rays. But this disc went it to high detail of every aspect you need to look at in order to calibrate your tv or projector. I am happy with how it turned out, I just now have to set it up for a few more settings, like TV, PS3, etc...

DVD Review: Confusing and very user-unfriendly
Summary: 1 Stars

I had high hopes for this disc to help set up the optimal performance for my set, but it was poorly formatted and way too concerned with dealing in tech-speak. While it promises a quick set-up component, there is no simple, well-thought approach offered. AWFUL!

DVD Review: waste of time and money
Summary: 1 Stars

if you want to know how much knowledge this author has about video tech then get this if you want to tune your tv use THX FREE ON SOME DVDs

DVD Review: Not as helpful as I expected.
Summary: 3 Stars

This calibration disk is the first I have ever used. I purchased a Panasonic plasma and decided to calibrate it with this. It has a few test for picture quality but not nearly as many as I would have expected. I guess it was worth it. I got it for $11 with shipping so if you can get it that cheap I would recommend it. A little to advanced for me though.

DVD Review: Hate it!
Summary: 1 Stars

I don't know about all the good and bad points of how this video improves your HDTV because i never got that far. My DVE Blue ray version did not work in my brand new Samsung bdp-3600 player. I got no menue, just a black screen. Checked for update for firmware and there isn't any. So, I don't know what to do with it except post it for sale.
