Summary: Anyone who doesnt have it, doesn't get it!
Review: I have heard people say that they cant see a difference after a TV is "set". But they also dont like BMW's, or Lexus' either. Lots of people have no taste. If YOU do, run (dont walk) to the store and get this, it will make a night and day differnce in your viewing/listening pleasure.

Summary: Buyer beware
Review: I have purchased the precursor to this disk in a laserdisk format. Its contents are a strange mix of useful information and beating a dead horse. I would assume that anyone who is buying a calibration disk must have a basic understanding of the workings of video, and surround sound. It may be an answer to some who has no background, but as a serious calibration and adjustment tool, as it is advertised and reviewed by some magazines it is way overrated, and it falls sadly far too short of my expectations.

Summary: This disk is a region 0 (multi region) disk, not region 1
Review: I have tested the disk in my multi-region DVD player with region settings 1, 2 and 6 and they all work.Although I normally have my player convert NTSC to PAL (live in Europe), and the tint setup becomes moot, it is still very useful for setting up other parameters and checking things out. Highly recommended.

Summary: A "gotta have" DVD
Review: I have the Laser Disk version (now out of print) and this DVD version is just as good. However, it takes a lot of navigation to go directly to the test images as they are not listed in the main menu. There is a new version coming from Joe Kane later this year replete with progressive scan programming, and I'm told this menu short-coming will be fixed. Let's hope so.

Summary: Excellent tool for buying and adjusting a TV set
Review: I have used this DVD to evaluate TVs before buying, and to calibrate my home set. This is probably only an issue for projection sets, and only if you plan to not have it professionally calibrated. Think TVs at your local Good Guys are set up correctly? I spent an afternoon doing comparisons of three sets from the same manufacturer using this DVD, and you wouldn't believe how differently they looked. Since the store wasn't busy, the kind salesman let us calibrate their sets for convergence, color, brightness, etc. using this DVD. Only then could a real comparison be made.

Summary: Should have taken the advice to rent it!
Review: I just bought a new Toshiba widescreen and Yamaha Dolby Digital receiver. I found this DVD informative but I only had to do very minor tweaking to my system so I couldn't justify the high price. I recommend renting it if your the type to "set it and forget it".

Summary: EXCELLENT VIEWING, LISTENING AND CALIBRATING YOUR SYSTEM.
Review: I purchased this DVD for the purpose of calibrating my home theater system, and let me tell you, not only it was incredibly helpful in tweeking the sound of your receiver Dolby Digital or Prologic, but after you've adjusted your picture you really see it the way the film maker intend it to be seen. A MUST HAVE FOR ALL DVD OWNERS AND DOLBY SURROUND SYSTEMS.

Review: if u guys with a complete home theater system (BIG screen TV,dvd player and great sound system) don't own this dvd, don't know what you are missing! after calibrating your tv and sound system the performance is awesome.especially if you like me and the rest of the world who thought setting the sharpness to maximum level on tv looks better, this dvd is gonna dissapoint you. OWN THIS ONE AT ANY COST DESPITE THE PRICE1

Summary: the best video calibration DVD there is!
Review: If you have a video projector or other high quality video format, calibrating with this disk will make it look GREAT! Very educational. TIP: If you are using an LCD type projector but you move around a lot (different apartments,etc), you can project your LCD projector directly on a white-ish looking wall instead of having to setup a screen. Normally if you do this, you'd get a lousy, off-color picture. But if you calibrate to the wall's color with this disk, it looks very close to perfect. Have done this in several installations with VERY VERY good results.

Summary: Essential for higher end theatre setup
Review: If you own a bigscreen TV and a surround system than this disc is essential to own (or rent at least once). Many people miss out on how good a quality projection TV can look- all because they've never calibrated their system. Another user commented that there was no convergence pattern on the disc- this should be built into your TV, anyway.
