Okay but didnt get the results i was looking for
in the dvd it states that contrast ratios are overblown in tv's default settings. well will messing around with the tv settings, i couldnt get the color or brightness to look as good as the dynamic and standard settings. something was wrong with the picture i was getting, like i needs sharpening and or more color. And then the most important part, the color tempurature, was not explained how to fix it with the red green and blue hue sliders on my tv. the dvd itself has the most confusing menu system of all time. overall its worth about 10 bucks and no more.in the dvd it states that contrast ratios are overblown in tv's default settings. well will messing around with the tv settings, i couldnt get the color or brightness to look as good as the dynamic and standard settings. something was wrong with the picture i was getting, like i needs sharpening and or more color.

HDTV setup using Digital Video Essentials
After purchasing my new HDTV I wanted to get the most out of my system and do it myself so I decided to try the Digital Video Essentials to help fine tune it. First the price I paid was a good bargin and it was very educational explaining how things work and why. The DVD walked me through the step by step setup procedures with easy to follow instructions on how to make simple adjustments on video and audio that produced great results. I recommend it to anyone who is a DIYer and wants a reliable and easy to use product.After purchasing my new HDTV I wanted to get the most out of my system and do it myself so I decided to try the Digital Video Essentials to help fine tune it.

every CRT placed in storage should have this disc taped to it.
by todays date, the information in the 'movie' is obnoxiously outdated. but what does everybody buy the disc for? THE COLOR FILTERS. i've got a CRT computer monitor that i thought had really good color already. when i used the color filters, they confirmed what i was seeing really was true. i really didnt need to do much at all because the blue and the red was already perfect. the included test patterns that are really useful.. well i am willing to go out on a limb and say they are all there, but really i dont feel there was enough to test resolution and focus. they've got the crosshatch to set a CRT's electron gun straight on the screen (a must have for CRT, probably not needed for printed LCD, and i have no idea about plasma). they've got the sharpness screen to test when there is too ... by todays date, the information in the 'movie' is obnoxiously outdated. but what does everybody buy the disc for?

(not only an alternative solution, but a CALIBRATED alternative solution if your television has such a problem) there were screens to show resolution, and i think they work. but i dont think people can embrace and enjoy a screen with lines that simply get smaller and smaller (or thinner and thinner if you care to look at it that way) to see any ripple effects in those lines. because for one, its boring and dull. but also because they dont say anything about removing ripples, and then going the next step to maybe get a magnifying glass and see each individual line for a line instead of something blurry. i dont think people can change the resolution (really i think its jst the dots per inch) within the 'user' settings anyways.. and that is probably why there wasnt anything said about how to best use the test pattern. (i dont think LCD's will have such an option, even in the service menu.. so it might be best to say its alright and fine since CRT's are becoming obsolete thanks to 2k and 4k resolution) i bought it for the color filters and they work. the disc has the crosshatch to test another very important thing. the disc has the test pattern to adjust the brightness and contrast and sharpness. that generally sums up everything quick and simple that is needed for 'enthusiast' levels of advancement. if anybody is going to put a CRT in their basement to keep for 'history' i strongly suggest taping one of these discs to the television set for whenever somebody turns it on and wants to use it. kinda like finding an old car in an apocolpyse, and also finding some spare oil to give it an oil change.

Great tool for those experienced in this field
If you want your TV to look like what its supposed to you need to get this. Its packed with things to help you calibrate your new TV or to keep your old TV looking good. When I first got my TV an ISF specialist came in to professionally calibrate it. He gave me some advice and taught me a little about why the TV needs to be calibrated. Professional TV calibration is very expensive at about $300 per TV but its worth it for the first time. But in order to keep it looking good it needs to get it calibrated once a year which would cost way too much. This is a good alternative to the pricey professional calibrations. This system not as accurate as the pros but its something you should invest in if you want to see the natural picture and not some manufactures 100,000+Kelvin picture. This isn't ...

This isn't something for the novice. It gets very complicated at times and will only make sense to those who actually know how to use some of the test signals.

Optimize Your PRE-Blu-Ray Home Theater
Just bought a used Panasonic upscaling DVD player to 'feed' my 39" Samsung LED. Went 'old school' with this optimization package because of the price, and compatibility to my system. Almost all the contents were applicable, and I learned a LOT about analog vs. digital signals and processing. It was originally aimed at early HDMI adopters, and while some of the diagrams don't apply to current equipment, it was a valuable tool in optimizing most of my equipments' video and audio.Just bought a used Panasonic upscaling DVD player to 'feed' my 39" Samsung LED.
