Customer Rating:
Summary: Digital Video Essentials
Comment: Found it rather disappointing. I have the original video essentials dvd and didn't find anything on the blue ray version to justify replacing it.
Customer Rating:
Summary: I can see the difference
Comment: There is a LOT of information on this disc. They explain how surround sound works and the best setups. They discuss HD video and how to get the optimal image from your TV.
Worth the price. It really helped me configure my HD TVs to look their best.
Customer Rating:
Summary: TV Alignment made easy
Comment: I was skeptic about purchasing this as I didn't really know if I needed it, but after buying it, I realized I should have had this since the day I went High-Def. It has many advanced alignment features for the most elite users, but in my case, I wanted to know the state of the equipment I bought and properly align it to get the best image and sound quality. This DVD does just that.
I got a better understanding of the picture and what each of the components of the image I see represents.
I would highly recommend anyone investing in this product even before you decide to buy your HDTV so you know what to look for as long as you already have a blu-ray player.

Summary: DIY fine-tune your TV
Comment: Tweak your screen for best pix using your BluRay player/PS3. More limited than than a Pro getting into TV's ServiceMenu, but cheaper. Out of the box, TVs are set wrong to grab attention on display in a store.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Good for what it is
Comment: 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.
