Client Critiques

Lately bought a 55" Samsung UN55C6800 LED Tv and was seeking for a calibration disc. I was about the acquire the DVE HD Fundamentals Blu-Ray but saw a press release concerning this DVD, so I decided to wait till this 1 came out and give it a go.
I will preface this by saying I had already applied calibrated settings from CNET as well as users on the AVS forums to tweak my Tv already. Ahead of working with the WoW Blu-Ray I would say I was about 95% happy with the image my Tv delivered using the settings I discovered on the web. The key reason I bought the blu-ray is I was just interested in seeing all the (albeit non-specialist) test patterns implemented to calibrate a Television and so forth. I went in to this buy not expecting any vast improvements in Image High quality more than my already somewhat tweaked settings. I know this disc is no substitute for a ISF expert calibration and was not expecting such results.
Very first, for consumers who havent bought, head more than to Disney's site and search for this blu-ray. On its Disney page, you will get at the bottom a link to download the "WoW Technical Manual." This is essentially an instruction booklet on how to use the blu-ray, and I discovered it to be a good read before I basically received the blu-ray itself. It goes over a lot of the test patterns and how they work.
Right here are the contents of the blu-ray:

So....how did it operate for me?
First, I enjoy the included manual. Very nicely written and quick to use. Also, this blu-ray comes with a blue filter gel used to calibrate your colors. (I think the DVE Blu-Ray also comes with color gels).
The actual DVD menus are amazing also. Each and every test pattern has 3 sections: Overview (description of whay the distinct Television setting is very important), Instructions (shows the test pattern and clearly talks about how to use it), and finally just the test pattern itself, permitting you to tweak and take as long as you want.
Depending on how familiar you currently are with your Television and if you wanted to watch the "Find out" portion of the disc, you can expect to spend anywhere from 1 hour to a few hours with the disc. There is a second included disc referred to as Visions that has a bunch of nature scenery/and so on to show off your Television. I did not care for the second disc, but i could see how someone could delight in it.
At the finish of the day, just after operating by means of all the tests (some various occasions since other tests later on might possibly modify your initial settings), I only changed two settings on my present set-up, and they were pretty smaller adjustments at that. I was disappointed that my settings didnt modify also significantly, but like i mentioned in the starting I was currently really happy with my TV's picture making use of settings I identified via the internet.
For what it is (an average-joe Tv calibration blu-ray), this product is wonderful. I very advise it for many people purchasing their initially HDTV as it completely discusses almost everything a person new to the technologies would require to know. If you are the kind of person who buys a new Tv and starts watching it day 1 on the default settings, this dvd may perhaps support a LOT. On the other hand, for those who already play around with settings, consumer calibration dvds such as this one particular will probably not support all that significantly - in particular because we can get decent settings on line currently from skilled critique web-sites or forums.
However, considering that I am rating the item, it undoubtedly deserves 5 stars. Very easy to navigate, nicely made, specialist, and so on. Just comprehend that if you've already tweaked your Tv settings utilizing facts you have gathered web based, this dvd might not bring that substantially of a change to your picture settings!

If you have not too long ago purchased or personal an LCD, LED, Plasma, or DLP tv, purchase this Blu-Ray. Disney's calibration disc is very user friendly and simple and easy to use. As the previous reviewer did, my Tv was already calibrated from settings I discovered on CNET and AVSForum. I was interested to see how my settings compared to the settings altered utilizing this Blu-Ray. My currently tweaked settings had been pretty close to the settings following calibrating my Tv from the blu-ray. I just had to tweak a few points. Regardless, I nonetheless give this disc 5 stars. The directions are rather hassle-free to comply with, plus the blu-ray comes with an instruction booklet. I suggest reading the instruction booklet prior to making use of the blu-ray to calibrate your tv.
The blu-ray is pretty painless to navigate. If you have to have to return to a previous step, it's highly straightforward to do so. Following you calibrate your tv, there are clips from a number of Disney films such as Bolt and Pirates of the Caribbean to view your settings in action. The second disc on the blu-ray named Visions: Inspired By Nature is a gorgeous HD demo reel. There are scenes of waterfalls, an ocean sunset, flower fields, desert vistas, mountain vistas, a fireplace scene, plus much more. You can play each person scene or run a loop. The second disc is roughly 64 minutes long. The second disc is a thing you can play in the background if you are having guests more than or play it when reading a book or just relaxing.
General, I very advise this to any person who owns a high def television who hasn't tweaked their settings. You will study which each setting on your television does and it study about surround sound. Like the earlier reviewer stated, If you have already calibrated your Television from settings you located on line, this disc almost certainly will not help you just about every significantly.
