It was alright. The calibration off the internet was as good. Probably wasn't worth the money.Customer Review: monster/ISF HDTV

Did a great job on my Sony 46" LCD,but not so great on my Samsung 46" LEDCustomer Review: Good for the simple minded
Summary: 2 Stars
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.
Customer Review: If you know nothing about TVs and like watching a dumb blonde...
Summary: 2 Stars
I, like others, saw this in a store (Fry's Electronics) and should have read the reviews before purchasing it.
All the settings it helps you check could be done in less than 10 minutes if you didn't have to listen to Jenna's dumb-blonde rambling from a script that's designed to show you that she empathizes with how stupid you are about your TV. Only two settings needed minor adjustments, and I never made it to the Monster advertisement or video because I couldn't put myself through any more of the drivel.
It does do what it says for checking the few things it covers, but it puts you through far too much annoying and useless talking to be worth the price.
