Product Description

It's a fact: TVs are setup ?hot? by the manufacturer for display in brightly lit showrooms. That means their settings out-of-the-box often aren't ideal for home viewing. Blacks can look washed out, whites too bright, details even fuzzy. The fast, easy fix without retaining a professional ISF calibrator with $10,000 worth of instrumentation: the award-winning Monster/ISF HDTV Calibration Wizard DVD, named Electronic House magazine's 2006 Product of the Year! The Monster/ISF HDTV Calibration Wizard DVD is the fastest and easiest way to bring out the best in your HDTV. In series of easy, step-by-step video tutorials, pop star Jenna Drey walks you through the entire HDTV calibration process. In minutes, you'll learn how to optimize your TV's display levels for maximum HDTV performance, so you always get the richest blacks, most natural color and absolute sharpest picture from your HDTV. Co-produced by the Imaging Science Foundation, the world authority in video calibration


Customer Reviews

I am not a professional calibrator  (Rating: 5 out of 5)

I see too many people giving negative reviews of this disc. Initially I was sort of mad at the salesman that sold me this disk because I expressed my displeasure of all things "Monster". Yeah they sell overpriced cables and they use a lot of hype when promoting their products but this disc was actually pretty useful. Look, I don't have $400 to spend on getting my system professionally calibrated but I did want my TV to look as good as I could get it. As one reviewer had said the video is slightly annoying and I believe it is almost too dumbed-down but my TV looks fantastic. The menus are easy to use, the narration is easy to follow and for $25 you really can't beat the price.

I have a full time job and I have too many things going on in my life to become an expert on matters of all things HDTV. I am sure some of the more technical discs are fine but this took me all of maybe 12 minutes. It showed me how to adjust my black levels (which is very important from what I am told), adjust my brightness and set my color correctly. I am sure it could be better and I may hire someone in the future to calibrate my system but this disc does the job it was intended to do. If you are like me and bought a nice home theater and want it to look good go ahead and buy this disc. It's easy, does a good job and is endorsed by the ISF. That is the bottom line.

Monster/ISF HDTV Calibration Wizard DVD  (Rating: 1 out of 5)

I wish I had read Marc Anderson's review first. I was rather skeptical about this product being so helpful and useful to really calibrate an HDTV, but unfortunately, decided to waste approx. $20 and buy one (not thtough Amazon). It might be of some use to someone who has never seen a TV set before, but the average person can adjust the color, brightness and contrast, etc. to get a picture suitable to watch by going through each setting, if you don't like the manufacturer's pre-settings.I had learned that such a product was available and tried several of the rental stores first, but they weren't available yet, if they even will be. Save your money on this one and see if there is such a thing that is really useful. Gary Patterson Decatur, IL

Effective, but mildly irritating  (Rating: 4 out of 5)

This is a very fundamental calibration exercise packaged with a lot of hyperbole and an embarrassingly lame music video. It is not intended for entertainment, however, and it does what it's supposed to do. The more electronically savvy user will want a more precise tool, but this one is good and inexpensive for the first-time user.

TRUE HD on a reg DVD!!  (Rating: 1 out of 5)

Total waste of money! The whole time they trying to trick u into thinking u using a HDTV calibration disk for HDTV when it really for a SDTV. They also Claim that the whole video was in true HD on a Reg DVD. I guess if u pay 30 dollar then monster cable will Make any DVD turn into trueHD.

Total Rips Off!!! If u planing on buy a calibration disk make sure it on a hdDvd or Blu Ray disk for the trueHD not a reg DVD

Not worth the money  (Rating: 2 out of 5)

THE DVD DID GIVE SOME POINTS ABOUT HOW TO ADJUST THE TV BUT I THINK IT SEEM LIKE THE REASON THEY PUT THIS DVD OUT WAS TO PROMOTE THE GIRL THAT WAS INSTRUCTING YOU THROUGHOUT THE DVD BECAUSE AFTER SHE FINISH THEN SHE WENT INTO AN MTV THING AND STARTED SINGING A SONG SHE RECORDED WITH THE VIDEO. I DIDN'T BUY IT TO SEE HER SING I WANTED IT SO I CAN GET THE BEST PERFORMANCE OUT OF MY HDTV THAT DIDN'T HAPPEN
