Average Rating:
Rating: 
- Kind of disapointing
They really tried to "take advantage" of a DVD's unique capabilities (that might have been impressive 10 years ago), but really they just made everything more complicated than it has to be.All I wanted was some good test patterns and such - which this has - but you have to wade through a lot of junk.If you're somewhat technically capable and already know what some of this stuff means, it will be very frustrating.
Rating: - Too much theory
The basic adjustments are explained, but they are buried in a long winded explanation of video theory and history. If you just want to adjust your TV for optimum picture quality you have to navigate the menu system to get to a specific test. Also there are many advanced audio and video tests included on the disc, but no explanation of how to use them.

- Great for high quality video
If you have the time and want the best picture this disc is great. I have set up several sets and they all look so much beter after using this set up disc. It does take a bit of time but it is well worth it.
Rating: - review
This is a great product for setting up your home theater system. Helps with color calibrating your TV and also setting up surround sound correctly. Easy to use, step by step instructions. I own this regular DVD version and also the High Def Blu-Ray version for people who own Blu-Ray players.
Rating: - Good for CRT displays and nothing else.
I Basically couldn't use this with my Sony bravia xbr4 LCD because most of the test material is for CRT displays.What a huge waste of money!
