Don't waste your money....Reviewed by Robert Johnson, 2010-03-03
Basically tells you that you need to hire some one to set up your HD TV.. To much Tech stuff. Ended up doing it by eye......
Not too useful on new TVsReviewed by Patrick Ho, 2010-02-26
The instruction is easy to follow. However, it basically just shows that the default settings of my TV is good. If you are buying this product, you probably have a HD TV, and it must be fairly new. Maybe this product is useful for an old TV. But if you are just like me, who is excited to have a new HD TV and want to fine tune it to make it look the best, you can just save your money. That's my 2 cents.
Very usefull tool and great source of informationReviewed by Paul A. Sangineto, 2010-02-06
Using this disk for adjusting my new plasma's user controls was so easy. Using test patterns to correctly "dial in" my color, tint, sharpness, etc. rendered a very accurate image. The patterns on this disk stayed on the screen for as long as I needed them to unlike another I have used that "time out" too soon. I also learned a wealth of information from the tutorial section. You too will also understand why competing manufacturers sets look so vastly different while you shop for your new flat panel. No home theater tool box should be without Digital Video Essentials!
To technical for meReviewed by F. S. Glover, 2010-01-30
Good product with lots of info about HD and what it all means. Just a little to technical for me.
Wow!Reviewed by D. Gomez, 2010-01-21
I am finally experiencing picture quality on my HDTV, that up until now, I had only seen in Best Buy's and Sony retail stores where they calibrate the picture professionally to get you to buy. Buy this if you want to experience the full potential of your HDTV!
