HD Calibration

[stimpson]

I thought I heard a while back that there is a disk you can get to adjust your HD display settings to optimize your picture. Anyone know of this?

Thanks for the info. I have a 1080i display. Which chapter from the manual would I use? The 720p or the 1080p? Very new at the HD day and age so please forgive any stupid questions.

I have a 1080i display.

You mean a 1080i input only?
Or a CRT 1080i? All modern non-CRT are progressive.

In any case, I'd run the 1080 part.
Remember that every input should be calibrated independently.

I recently received the DVE-HD disc. Set it to 1080. Just so you know, the instructions are only on the SD side of the disc. You need to watch that first.

Will do. Thanks. Oh, how much was the disk?

well, it comes free with halo 3 LE and higher 69.99.

I think the last time I priced the disk (about a year ago) it was nearly $100 bucks

Buy the game and sell it on ebay keeping the calibration tool
