Just what I expected August 3, 2008

The video quality is excellent; the Audio section allowed me to more fully understand how well my surround sound was working; while quite technical, it starts at the beginning and is easy to follow. It is very worth the price!

After reading some of the reviews I actually thought I might be in over my head purchasing this disc. But it really isn't that bad. It's best if you take in in short spurts to make sure you're processing all of th information. It's very interesting to understand all of the functions of your expensive hdtv, it really makes you feel as though you are getting your money's worth. I definitely noticed a picture difference after calibrating a 32" Samsung LCD and a 56" Samsung DLP.

If you want to know what is wrong with your HDTV... June 28, 2008
25 out of 35 found this review helpful

...then this disc might be for you! Much of the narration on this disc deals with what is wrong with current HDTVs. Frankly, I didn't buy this to educate myself about how current technology is lacking; I bought this so I could optimize my TV to it's fullest potential.

If you are interested in optimizing the following settings on your HDTV, you might be interested in knowing this disc either NEVER mentions them at all, or never explains HOW to adjust them: HDMI black level, Gamma, Tint, White Balance, Color Space, Saturation, Temperature, xvYCC, Black Adjust, Backlight (no, not even backlight!) and more.

Also, after struggling to be patient throughout the vague, repetitive narration, waiting for it to prompt me to perform an adjustment for the current calibration topic, the disc would more often than not move right on to the next topic, never specifying which of the quick screens that flashed by throughout the narrative was the one to use, much less when.

As another reviewer mentioned, there might be something wrong with the Contrast test screens. Even at a setting value of 100, I could still see a very definitive lineation between the highest two white bars.

The publishers of this disc clearly have an agenda, speaking long and often about how current HDTV's are lacking. I just wish that agenda included a complete optimization of my HDTV.
