I’m a dummy and bought this HD Basics disk to tweak my new LCD HD TV and HD player. I found out it wouldn’t work in my machine ONLY after I tried it. It wouldn’t play! It’s BLURAY ONLY! Of course I’d opened the package so can’t return it. The item description does’t mention this. I guess that’s the way dummies learn and DVE makes money. Maybe some day I’ll use this disk if I up-grade to BluRay. Rating: 1 / 5

I gave this one to my son as he has the blue-ray.Same result no help.I can’t go off and tell you why exactly they did nothing for us but every thing in there was just basic instructions that you get out of the manual. Rating: 1 / 5

This product is wholly unnecessary if you’ve got a half-decent television. Most televisions have settings that are 85% accurate to begin with.
Only worthwhile if you want to know at much as your TV calibration expert. Rating: 2 / 5

Got a HDTV? You spent anywhere from several hundred to several thousand dollars on it, right? If you don’t calibrate the TV, it may look good, but won’t look as good as it has the potential to look. The whole reason you spent all that money on a HDTV was for the best possible looking picture, right? With that in mind, an $18 calibration disc (with color filters included) is a real no-brainer investment to help you get the most out of your expensive purchase. Rating: 5 / 5
