DVD Reviews of Digital Video Essentials: Optimize Your Home Entertainment System (NTSC Component)
DVD Review: Too much theory
Summary: 2 Stars
The basic adjustments are explained, but they are buried in a long winded explanation of video theory and history. If you just want to adjust your TV for optimum picture quality you have to navigate the menu system to get to a specific test. Also there are many advanced audio and video tests included on the disc, but no explanation of how to use them.DVD Review: Great for high quality video
Summary: 5 Stars
If you have the time and want the best picture this disc is great. I have set up several sets and they all look so much beter after using this set up disc. It does take a bit of time but it is well worth it.DVD Review: review
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a great product for setting up your home theater system. Helps with color calibrating your TV and also setting up surround sound correctly. Easy to use, step by step instructions. I own this regular DVD version and also the High Def Blu-Ray version for people who own Blu-Ray players.DVD Review: Good for CRT displays and nothing else.
Summary: 2 Stars
I Basically couldn't use this with my Sony bravia xbr4 LCD because most of the test material is for CRT displays. What a huge waste of money!DVD Review: Truth in advertising
Summary: 5 Stars
No one who considers themselves a home theater enthusiast should be without Video Essentials in the appropriate format, in this case on DVD. To illustrate how "essential" DVE is, I literally brought this disc with me to every store I went to (approaching a dozen) when auditioning big-screen HDTVs, tuning each one up on the spot before making an informed comparison. This invaluable tool has everything you need to get all your gear, whether $100 or $100,000, delivering its best results.
Description of Digital Video Essentials: Optimize Your Home Entertainment System (NTSC Component)
The year was 1997, and the disc for videophiles was Video essentials, the ultimate home theater calibration tool of its time. Having sold over 300,000 copies in just the first few years of DVD infancy, it was time to develop the next generation. Now comes Digital Video Essentials, the most advanced program for calibrating today's televisions, including high definition, plasma, and other state-of-the-art screens and home theater systems. Created by Joe Kane and featuring the visual work of renowned cinematographer Allen Daviau (ET, Empire of the Sun, The Color Purple) DVE is the one, the only, calibration program that will render all the other calibration programs obsolete.General DVDs
