I've been reading about the Avia and DVE discs and it seems that neither one has good instructions for use. Can anyone comment on these or recommend something else?
I have both the AVIA and the DVE discs. I also own Joe Kane's original calibration LD. While original LD was wonderful to calibrate analog televisions, the DVDs are virtually useless in calibrating todays DTVs. The directions even left me confused and I am accustomed to using the LD. I suggest that you get yourself a blue wratten filter and use it to do a basic calibration with regular color signal broadcasts. Dont waste your money on these dvds.
I was able to use both disks for calibration of my RP-HDTV and both improved the picture. For more money you can have a ISF technician calibrate it and it is much better. Both disks are confusing, but have what you need to adjust the user controls. I never found the blue filters for THX calibration. Good luck!
