Rating: - International Buyers Beware - Region Locked
Just be careful when you purchase this as it is REGION LOCKED (not falsely but truly!). A totally puzzling decision given the interntational market.
Rating: - could be simpler
Im familiar with tv calibration and this just confused me until i sat through the painstakingly long explanation of the "new" tests, once you sit through the explanation and try it couple of times it gets pretty easy. The red green and blue film strips are included which is a big plus and it gives a pretty good picture once set correctly. If you are not into calibration of audio and video get someone with experience to do it or else you're just gonna get really pissed off.

Rating: - A must have for all HD TVs
disc is great for HD-TV calibration!A must have if you want the best picture and sound but don't have an arm for a leg to sell off.

DVE HD Basics provides help for setting up your HD audio/video system.The disc is much more helpful than the Avia 2 disc, though the original Avia disc provides more audio calibration, I thought.This is the only calibration program I'm aware of that is provided on Blu-Ray with HD video test patterns.It is helpful to watch the 90 minute presentation before starting your calibrations, just to understand what the adjustments are and how they affect the overall picture.
