 Complete Waste of Money Apr 24, 2006
By R. Smith
Marc Anderson's review below hits the nail on the head. This is possibly the most useless TV tool and/or calibration tool that has ever been marketed. It is about as high tec as a plastic pair of 3-D glasses and about as useful also. When you buy a calibration disc you are not interested in someone's singing career or her "cutsy" expressions about calibration. This really is a disc that explains the 4-5 basic components of TV calibration whilst leaving the viewer hanging at the point where more info. is necessary. It may be helpful to someone who has not owned a color TV in the last 45 years but otherwise there is no value added. It is certainly easy to use because there is nothing really to use. Absolutely terrible!

 Good for the simple minded Jun 02, 2006
By San Jose Reviewer
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.

There has got to be something better. Apr 07, 2006
By Marc Anderson
Don't waste your money on this. It seems the only reason this DVD was made was to feature someone's girlfriend's video. It's nothing more than...if you see an X on the screen your brightness is set too high and the girl in the middle should look good while the one one the right looks pasty. Now your done let's watch a terrible music video.

Waste of money and absolutely in line with other Monster products Feb 10, 2007
By John Margaglione
This DVD is as big of a ripoff as $150 HDMI cables. As one reviewer pointed out, I would not lend or recommend this DVD to my friends. The setup is so basic and limited as to be a waste of time. I did a better job of adjusting my settings without this DVD than with it. It helps you adjust a whopping four settings: brightness, contrast, tint/hue and sharpness. Wow, all the settings my 1975 Philips console TV had. They needed to make a DVD to show me how to set the tint so that people don't show up green? Don't even ask about the "music video" on here. That was probably the most insulting part of the whole video, with the possible exception of the Monster exec on the DVD telling you what a star this bimbo is going to be. If I could get my money back on this I would. Please don't spend your money on this product.

Completely Without Merit Sep 22, 2006
By Cyrus Durgin
"small north american mammal"
Having used other video calibration disks before (the Digital Essentials and a few others I can't recall), I have to say that this DVD isn't worth the plastic it's encoded on. There is basically no real information, and the set-up is guided by some wanna-be pop star who goes out of her way to make the whole process as non-technical as possible by removing any indication of what you're actually trying to achieve. The few calibrations they have you work through are basic at best, and they entirely skip over color calibration. Pure uselessness.
