Monster Isf Hdtv Calibration Wizard Dvd Free Download
GreetingsMonster just distributes the product. It really is all ISF. Not monster.IT is an easy to follow way to set all the user settings without getting into complex language or test patterns.The disc uses 'human' test patterns that actually emmulate the real deal and you end up with the same result.
The nice thing is. People end up with a better image without even realizing that they were looking at test patterns.It will help you improve your:BrightnessContrastColorTintSharpnessOverscanGeometryThe end result is effectively the same as with most test discs. Some patterns like the contrast test actually work better here than from real test discs.Regards.

Hdtv Calibration Dvd
- Re: isf calibration.how much??? I personally bought 'The Monster/ISF HDTV Calibration Wizard DVD' for about £20.00 and it worked for me. I have the THX set up disc, the Monster set up disc (better one that) and a free download professional setup disc. I went onto a forum and asked these.
- Monster/ISF HDTV Calibration Wizard DVD. Anybody know how this monster hdtv calibration disc compares to the dve disc?Any advantages over the dve disc as I have.
OK cool, I'm not really sure what or who 'ISF' but ok lol.Question. If the DVD sets up all your settings, how does that work with different picture settings? For example on my Sony (that I'm about to sell) it has different built in picture settings (standard, vivid, etc), do you have to run the DVD for each picture setting or how does that work? Keep in mind, my Sharp hasn't even been opened yet!
I just bought it yesterday, took it home and left to go out of town for two weeks. So now I'm just trying to get the last bit of tid bits as to what else I need before I get back home.Thanks. Originally Posted by SseadoubleyouOK cool, I'm not really sure what or who 'ISF' but ok lol.Question.

So now I'm just trying to get the last bit of tid bits as to what else I need before I get back home.Thanks.Yeah, that's what I did with my DVE calibration disc. I don't really use Vivid or Standard, but I adjusted Pro and Movie settings for my DVD and HD-DVD (and transferred my DVD settings to my TV viewing). They are different. You can have the exact same settings on both and it'll look different (Movie settings are usually softer, for example).And I'm sure the Monster/ISF disc will do the job just fine. Please don't take this the wrong way, but you people that belong to or take part in the ISF aren't going to be the most objective observers when evaluating an ISF product.I'm sure if you use the disc you'll get results that are pretty close to other calibration discs, but for what you're paying for this you can get a disc like DVE or Avia that has tons of other stuff in addition to the six or so 'patterns' you get on the ISF disc. This includes tons of test patterns, audio tests (does this disc even have them?), and tutorial information about home theater equipment.
If you just want a quick setup, you can download a few patterns and burn them to a disc or use the THX optimizer. My main beef with this product is that it just doesn't seem like a good value to me. Escape whisper valley activation code.
It might be cool to get it for free from a calibrator or something, but the price is kind of a joke to me when you can get Avia or DVE for close to the same price (plus unlike DVE it's not even available in HD). Well others also said I should get the Avia product over Monsters. Which Avia product would I want? I believe there are two to chose from but I'm not sure which one I would want. Can you post a link?Also, I heard Avia does not support wide screen, in other words when you run the calibration disc, it won't be in 16:9 but rather 4:3, is this true? If so, then it can't be better then Monster lol.Thanks for your help!BTW.I've never used a 'calibration DVD' before to calibrate my CRT's, is this something that is only done with plasma/flat panels/dlp's? GreetingsIt would probably be best to actually use the disc before blindly criticizing it and saying it does not work.It does exactly what it was intended to do.
Help the end user set up the 5 primary food groups.There are also HD patterns on the disc. Accessible from a computer. Hardly misleading.Calibrators don't have any stake in this disc. Why not actually critique the disc rather than implying there is some conflict of interest going on here. Attack the people rather than address the issue.Regards. I'm a calibrator and I've think I've used just about every disc out there.
I'd say for the average Joe (not the tweaker) they are likely to get better results with this disc than any other one available at the moment.The average Joe probably isn't going to try all the patterns that DVE or AVIA provide to try and get their controls perfect, nor would they understand how to optimize their displays with these patterns. They'll get rid of the 'X', make sure they can see the buttons and wrinkles on the shirt, adjust the ladies fleshtones and make sure they have no halos on the pool cues. They will have a greatly improved picture in very little time. They aren't going to spend hours going through various patterns (and discs) trying to decide if their contrast is better at 47 or 48The only disadvantage for the average Joe is it doesn't do audio.
But, the average Joe probably isn't going to buy an SPL meter. At best he'll use the auto set up in his receiver.
So, this might not be needed.For the mild enthusiast or budget conscious I'd recommend Sound & Vision's HT tune up for. The 'Monster' disk is neither a joke nor of poor quality. It wasn't intended as a calibrator's reference disk nor was it intended for a video engineer intending on spending several hours with $65K of test gear.
It was intended to provide a simple, plain language basic set up for the end consumer. Equally to the point it dramatically shows a typical consumer (1) what a picture looks like when it is not right; and, (2) proves a basic cal is a three minute effort. It does have HD material! However, the HD material is in WMV (look at the disk's sponsors boys and girls) and works fine on an HTPC, Windows Media Player, or XBOX. Also understand the recording occured before HD-DVD or BR was available.
