Digital camera reviews of Monster/ISF HDTV Calibration Wizard DVD
Digital camera Review: Dissapointing
Summary: 1 Stars
I was expecting maybe too much from this DVD.
It allowed me to tweak one or two settings....
The rest is very basic stuff for which you don't need the DVD.
However the host and the overall production value of the DVD might be worth the $$!!!
It is so cheesy it is hilarious!!! 80's music video meets spanish soap opera meets home made video
Digital camera Review: Don't waste your money. (Unless you're a novice)
Summary: 1 Stars
This may be useful for the complete technophobe or those that prefer to be talked through something so I gave it one star.
It has no color, grayscale, or convergence test patterns. You are better off using the THX optimizer on any Pixar or Lucasfilm DVD.
It is presented as a series of scenes that loop every few seconds showing actors dressed in black and white with black and white backgrounds and some women that you are supposed to use to balance your skin tones, and other scenes with a pool table.
Made for the novice who knows nothing about TVs.
For a technophile serious about getting high quality performance from their HDTV you should look elsewhere.
However, if you are a complete newb to TV or monitor calibration then this DVD is definitely for you.
Digital camera Review: Easy to use but could skip Jenna Drey.
Summary: 3 Stars
This disk is easy to use but is not HD. I used this product and the DVE HD disk. This disk was easier to use and made the TV look better than the DVE disk. The cost was fair. Skip the sales pitch and the music video. It is great for people who want just the basic info and tests to set up a new TV.Digital camera Review: Effective, but mildly irritating
Summary: 4 Stars
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.Digital camera Review: Good for Setting Black and White Levels Quickly and Painlessly
Summary: 4 Stars
Is it for videophiles or audiophiles? No, and it doesn't pretend to be. It's a good, quick down and dirty way to make a few quick but important adjustments to your display that will at least get them in the ball park, espescially black and white levels. Hey, your grandma could use this calibration disc, and while grammie's adjustments may not compete with a professional calibrator's, her picture will be improved, how much so depends on how far the display is off in the first place.
