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.

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.

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.

This product is a 95% waste of money.
The disk talks about how to setup your CRT during the entire disk. CRT who is buying a tube TV today? At first we thought it was a joke.
The steps to setup color and contrast are for a 1970’s or 1980’s TV
They do not go into ANY of the HDTV settings that are like, gamma, hue, backlighting or many other areas needed to really setup your HD TV.
The 5% this disk is good for is something I’ve always wondered about. Ever see cars where people have the DVD hung from the rear view mirror. We’ll that’s what this disk is good for. Or perhaps a coaster for a drink so you don’t mess up your nice wood table.
I got suckered into buying this junk… BE SMART DON’T but this thing! What a waste of my time and money. Amazon should be selling such snake oil to their customers.
