Editorial Review:

Product Description:
Did you know that your HDTV may have a greater potential than what you are seeing now? Did you know that manufacturers adjust their sets to get you attention when you buy the set? Usually that setting won t get you the best picture once you have the new set at home.With this easy-to-use program you have the opportunity to re-adjust the set allowing it to provide a much better looking picture. In both HD DVD and Blu-ray formats Digital Video Essentials: HD Basics provides simple setup instructions for new HDTV s. The program also provides additional background information on the HD system itself. It will give you an idea of the quality level you should expect from the HD programs current available to consumers. Also included in this program are commentaries by world renowned cinematographer Allen Daviau known for his work in E.T The Color Purple Empire of the Sun and Van Helsing among others as well as commentary by Joe Kane which will help you learn to identify quality High Definition video.The program is set up so you can pick and choose the subjects you'd like to see.

Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - did not work for me
i loaded disk into two players would not play
put it in my computer dvd drive and did not see
any files on the disk. did not work for me



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Very HD-Friendly, but Incomplete
The Adjustments for Color, Sharpness, Brightness and Contrast are all superb and quite-well tailored to HD sets.

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Someone who's actually used the product
Well, this is the 5th review of this product and the first one by someone who has actually used it...go figure.

This product is very similar to design and function of the original Digital Video Essentials (DVE) for standard DVD: it has in-depth explanations of current display technologies and how they differ from each other as well as (the most important thing) video and audio test patterns to setup and calibrate your video and audio system (as well as instructions on how to do so). ...

I gave it 3 stars because I can't rate the HD-DVD until I use it.

Hopefully there will be an update soon.

I seem to recall reviews from the prior version of this DVD needing an update on the 360 and it eventually was released!

Lets cross our fingers ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Just Received Item Today. Here's my Review... AWESOME!
I thought my TV was well calibrated before I bought his product (I used to sell televisions)but I was wrong. The dvd does a great job of explaining exactly what to do with each test setups which would otherwise be complicated without the great explanations. The HD-DVD version is very well set up and has very well organized menus. You can even calibrate your sound system with many different tests. The DVD provides information on everything from ambient light to even the density you should build your ... Read More
