2 out of 5 stars irritating dvd   August 10, 2008
The vast majority of the content on this disc won't help you adjust your televisions picture. There is WAY WAY too much irrelevent technical talk that misdirects from the info that actually is important. The rambling filler on this disc really tests your patience. You have to replay key parts repeatedly to remember what you're really supposed to do with a test signal. If you own a popular tv model, try looking online to see if you can find a review where they list the way they tweaked the TVs settings. I found this on C-Net for both my tvs and tossed this disc aside.


5 out of 5 stars 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!

I never got this item till date.Inspite of telling amazon,they had shipped this item to my previous apartment at cleveland. I also tried contacting USPS at cleveland regardign the same and they could not help it.It would be really great if amazon could assist me in getting this product at my louisville address.

Thanks

4 out of 5 stars picture perfect   July 31, 2008
If your looking to get the best picture possible then the DVE is a must.The picture on my home theater after i used the DVE was incredible.It really made a big difference,and was easy to use.


5 out of 5 stars Very Good and informative   June 30, 2008
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.
