Editorial Review:
Description:
The year was 1997, and the disc for videophiles was Video essentials, the ultimate home theater calibration tool of its time. Having sold over 300,000 copies in just the first few years of DVD infancy, it was time to develop the next generation. Now comes Digital Video Essentials, the most advanced program for calibrating today's televisions, including high definition, plasma, and other state-of-the-art screens and home theater systems. Created by Joe Kane and featuring the visual work of renowned cinematographer Allen Daviau(ET, Empire of the Sun, The Color Purple) DVE is the one, the only, calibration program that will render all the other calibration programs obsolete.
Customer Reviews Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Truth in advertising
No one who considers themselves a home theater enthusiast should be without Video Essentials in the appropriate format, in this case on DVD.To illustrate how "essential" DVE is, I literally brought this disc with me to every store I went to (approaching a dozen) when auditioning big-screen HDTVs, tuning each one up on the spot before making an informed comparison.This invaluable tool has everything you need to get all your gear, whether $100 or $100,000, delivering its best results.
Rating:  - Truly disappointing, did not live up to the reputation of previous versions
I had previously used a prior version of this that I borrowed from a friend to "optimize" my new LCD flatscreen TV.The explanations, guides and menus were very helpful.So I decided to purchase this new version, for my dad, to help him do the same with his TV.They made this latest version completely useless.Here are a list of pros and cons in no particular order.
Pros:
It's a DVD (DVD players are cheap)
Cons:
Forces you to watch the entire intro (for the ... Read More
Rating:  - Good Primer On TV Calibration, But Not User Friendly For Doing The Calibrations
This is a very informative DVD for anyone with an interest in TV calibration and several hours available to spend watching and listening to it.However, if you just want to calibrate your TV, it is not so helpful and the disk IS NOT user friendly.It is very, very difficult to navigate through this DVD, even harder to find a specific item, and impossible to go back one section or chapter.
On the plus side, the instructions and graphic for adjusting Brightness are very good and should ... Read More
Rating: - Disappointed
This one is dated; if you are new to Hi Def TV you will get some history lessons. However..
I got to the point where I was supposed to test red buy looking at bars on my TV thru the red plastic. I could NOT see what the audio told me I would see, and finally I gave up. Bad eyes? Bad description?
I have noticed that many of these fine-tuning video DVD's get poor reviews. Maybe this whole concept of describing video outcomes in print or in audio is a challenge beyond doing. I ... Read More
Rating: - Perfect tool, but you need to know how to use it
I used the older Video Essentials with LaserDisc and DVD (separate media) and that original program has very detailed instructions on what to do and how to do it. I bought this newer DVD since it covers flat screens, which the older DVD didn't. Note, this doesn't cover an HD stuff, this is a SD video. This new program is lighter on the details of what to do and the history of NTSC (US version), but they still go into enough details on what to do and how to setup the screen. You do need to spend the time ... Read More
