I wish I had read Marc Anderson's review first. I was rather skeptical about this product being so helpful and useful to really calibrate an HDTV, but unfortunately, decided to waste approx. $20 and buy one (not thtough Amazon). It might be of some use to someone who has never seen a TV set before, but the average person can adjust the color, brightness and contrast, etc. to get a picture suitable to watch by going through each setting, if you don't like the manufacturer's pre-settings.I had learned that such a product was available and tried several of the rental stores first, but they weren't available yet, if they even will be. Save your money on this one and see if there is such a thing that is really useful. Gary Patterson Decatur, IL

This is a very fundamental calibration exercise packaged with a lot of hyperbole and an embarrassingly lame music video. It is not intended for entertainment, however, and it does what it's supposed to do. The more electronically savvy user will want a more precise tool, but this one is good and inexpensive for the first-time user.

Total waste of money! The whole time they trying to trick u into thinking u using a HDTV calibration disk for HDTV when it really for a SDTV. They also Claim that the whole video was in true HD on a Reg DVD. I guess if u pay 30 dollar then monster cable will Make any DVD turn into trueHD. Total Rips Off!!! If u planing on buy a calibration disk make sure it on a hdDvd or Blu Ray disk for the trueHD not a reg DVD

THE DVD DID GIVE SOME POINTS ABOUT HOW TO ADJUST THE TV BUT I THINK IT SEEM LIKE THE REASON THEY PUT THIS DVD OUT WAS TO PROMOTE THE GIRL THAT WAS INSTRUCTING YOU THROUGHOUT THE DVD BECAUSE AFTER SHE FINISH THEN SHE WENT INTO AN MTV THING AND STARTED SINGING A SONG SHE RECORDED WITH THE VIDEO. I DIDN'T BUY IT TO SEE HER SING I WANTED IT SO I CAN GET THE BEST PERFORMANCE OUT OF MY HDTV THAT DIDN'T HAPPEN

I normally don't write reviews, but this was a HUGE let down. When the disc indicated that I was at the end of the calibration, my jaw dropped. I though that I was only getting started. Please save your money for something else that has more than a few setting adjustments.
