Digital camera reviews of Monster/ISF HDTV Calibration Wizard DVD
Digital camera Review: Good for a beginner, but not for a home theater buff.
Summary: 3 Stars
I bought this hoping to get the best color out of my set up, but upon running the calibration wizard, I found that the settings I had chosen myself were actually the same as the wizard recommended...
So I guess if you are really new to HDTV color and such, the wizard may get you close to where you want to be. I consider myself to be a novice/enthusiast, with what seems to be a good eye for color, according to Jenna Drey anyway:)
Digital camera Review: Good for the simple minded

This DVD is okay. It does what it advertises, but there are much better calibration DVDs out there. This DVD doesn't contain any audio calibration, which is what I also wanted. Some of the calibration on the DVD is too subjective for my taste. I really thought the music video at the end was rather pointless. If you're a guy with a short attention span, this DVD will probably work for you.
I found that "The AVIA Guide to Home Theater" DVD was much better. The AVIA DVD provides much less subjective calibration. It contains audio calibration. It contains suggestions on the types of cables to use, and other helpful suggestions for setting up your home theater. The only downside of the AVIA DVD was that it wasn't widescreen, unlike this widescreen DVD, but in reality the widescreen video is only useful if you're too blind to notice that your aspect ratio on the TV is causing circles to look like ovals.
Personally, I thought this Monster/ISF DVD was a waste of my money.

Useless, total waste of money. Better to use your eyeballs to adjust your HD TV.Digital camera Review: HDTV CALIBRATION WIZARD DVD

Either my TV had been set to the proper settings, or I didn't see any changes to improve my TV.
Very disappointed in what was accomplished with this product. I would not offer my friends this DVD as it would insult their intelligence in what it's supposed to provide.
Would not recommend anybody buy this product.
