 Why all the hype? Very disappointed (and not HD!) January 9, 2009
When I was doing product research for my modest home theatre, people were adamant that I get this disc to calibrate my plasma TV. I opted for the HD-DVD version, as I figured it would include updated material. So when it arrived I popped the HD-DVD side in, preparing to perform a calibration of my set. I was disappointed to discover that the HD side is all demo material, basically showing off the marvels of high definition. The regular DVD side is where all the calibration test patterns are found.
The menus are very poorly designed, confusing to navigate, narration is boring and too long, very little direction is provided, and the worst part is, I barely noticed a difference between the calibrated settings and the TV's default settings.
In summary: waste of money, NOT high definition, outdated.
 Can't figure it out December 27, 2008
I have yet to figure out how to apply the info from this DVD to calibrate my TV.

Great product to learn how to set up TV for best performance and power saving.
Menus can be tough to navigate unless your DVD Player has menu options (only one of ours did).
Results are great. Picture looks better with the adjustments. power consumption is down too (noticeably not so much heat coming off).

Tweak your screen for best pix using any DVD player (in HD, if you got a red-laser HD-DVD player, leap-day blow-out sale.) Out of the box, TVs are set wrong to grab attention seen displayed in a store.
Digital Video Essentials (double sided DVD w/ SD & HD) October 18, 2008
This was not helpful at all. I could not make the basic adjustments to my new HD LCD television in the ways demonstrated in the video presentation. I could find no reference to LCD anywhere in the presentation; only CRT and projection televisions. When I tried to e-mail support at the Joe Kane web site, I was informed that no support was available. I wrote a letter to Mr. Kane at the address on the web site 3 weeks ago and have not received a reply. If it were possible to give a "no stars" rating I would.
