Digital Video Essentials : HD Basics for blu-ray
Well this Blu-ray released last week and if you dont know what it is, let me explain a little bit about it to you. Its much like the HD-DVD version except its geared for blu-ray. This disc explains to you the ins and outs of HDTVs but not only that, it shows you how to calibrate your tv!
Calibration of your HDTV is a big important part of taking your huge investment you put towards it to the next level. I spent around $3,000 for my DLP and albeit I didn’t call upon an Audio Visual company to come to my house and give me a professional calibration (which runs around $300 bucks) I’ve been eagerly awaiting this Blu-ray release and have no problem forking down the $20 bucks this dvd is retailing for. There are cheaper places to get it, and I’ll get to that.
This disc was created by home theater legend Joe Kane and boasts an easy to use menu system. It comes complete with a quick set up option that includes a nicely in depth description and explanation on how to use test patterns to calibrate your tv display. It includes audio commentary from Joe as well as a cinematographer Allen Daviau to help demonstrate things. Plus a 97 minute overview of HDTVs.
If you’ve spent thousands on you home theater set up then do yourself a favor and purchase this blu-ray to get that professional calibration that could cost you around $300 if out-called. Now remember, this is calibrating your tv to Blu-ray standards. I went to a local Best Buy looking for this Blu last week and unfortunately I didn’t find it. Funny enough, they were trying to sell me on some $40 calibration DVD. First off, if I calibrated to DVD standards then ultimately thats what im getting, a great picture for DVDs, when what I want is a great picture for blu-ray and DVD, and $40 is too much for that independent underground DVD they were trying to push on me.
So, what did I do? I ordered the DVE : HD Basics for Blu-ray from buy.com who has it on sale for 16.99. If your a first time user of google check out then you can actually cop it for 6.99!!!
