Digital Video Essentials - Home System Setup for NTSC (DVD, 2003)

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.

Digital Video Essentials great seller, new dvd was able to calibrate 3 side by side monitors 36" good color balance excellent story of ntsc and video

I paid for item with PAYPAL and then never got, when I filed a paypal claim, they filed a non payment claim, even though I had a paypal transaction code for the item. Then when I emailed them, they asked for $4.99 for restocking fee when I never got the product to begin with...stay away.

The item should not have been sold through Ebay. It is no use. Anyone can do what was in the CD without having buying it. It would be a waste of money.

I had been looking for this DVD for a while and found it on ebay. it has all the patterns and tutorials I needed to setup my home theater. It's a little hard to navigate, but once you get the hang of it you know where everything is.

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 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.
