Have a great New Year guy's. lets all party. for 2007!
here comes windows vista.! woot.!

you fan. of dl.tv. :-)

Good show Robert. I've been wondering about the vid calibration tests.

Mad, mad props to DL.TV for producing through the holidays!! +9999 EXP.

I'm loving the holiday DL.TV experience!

Thanks for keeping on keeping on guys!

Short but good show. Hats off to Robert. Happy new year .

Robert AKA "AVSboy" :),

The knock on THX Optimizer was that the patterns vary from disc to disc.
Is this BS?

Also, SpyderTV let's one adjust color temp, important or not and in service mode one can read raw data from the "pod"?

The ISF calibration disc is marketing junk and it saddens me to see it propped up everywhere.

Also, how would one calibrate a PS3 w/ dvd, Blu ray and games coming from one "media center" especially when it's all through HDMI?

Happy holidays.

an idea & a tip,

ultra-portable: I would suggest the Panasonic Toughbook series- 14.1" XVGA screen with DVD @ 3.3bls...
I carry it around alot, so the weight is the single most important thing to me.

HDTV calibration:
I watch DVDs from my computer, which is hooked up to my hdtv. I'm also a photographer. What I do is using a hardware calibration device such as an i1(or i1-display 2, spyder 2, monaco...), change the HDTV to pc monitor mode, manually adjust it then let the software fine tune it, then have a profile built just for the HDTV, works great for me.

The wife and kids are at the grandparents.
Did the snow, took out the garbage, pizza guy just brought me a double cheese capicollo special, I got a cold case of Boreal Rousse chilling on the balcony, a fine hand-rolled charas, radiochango.com playing full blast on the desktop speakers and just finished DLing episode 124 on the laptop.

I am a geek in heaven.

Rob is going solo? This could be brilliant or it could blow donkeys. Too hard to call....

Have a good new year!!

Wow! Robert, you are really something :)

Robert is something... else!

Robert, et.al:

Very glad to hear you like the GetGray calibration DVD. I went to great lengths to make it easy to navigate and with profesional quality patterns. Thanks for the for the plug, too.

Cheers, Scott

MacBook (white) 2.0GHZ Core 2 Duo all the way. Best hardware, best OS, best battery life. Oh yes, and best looks without compare!.

Windows? Forget it!. Trash!.

That was a great review on calibrating your TV. I have been waiting for something like this to come on DL.TV for a while.

i don't know about anyone else but to me it seems like jim louderback is just trying to sell stuff. another thing, why would anyone want to buy a laptop without at least a dvd RW drive now. i also noticed how he didn't say what kind of optical was in the laptops. sorry about ranting but i just had to say something.
