Video Essentials is a great disc, but make sure Blockbuster has the color strips to calibrate your red, green, and blue. Without the color strips you can only calibrate darkness and contrast.

I would ammend that to say color stip. VE only has the strip for Blue, which is used to set-up the tint and hue settings. The other two, red and green, come in The AVIA Guide to Home Theater DVD but those color usually require that changes be made to service menu items in the same way you make the adjustments based on blue. So, yes, VE is just fine for setting you TV up. In some cases I actually like a couple of the test patterns better on VE than on AVIA.

You will use it at least once a year and if you have a friend with a nice TV its nice to have on hand. It pays for itself. I would think one floating around Blockbuster would be missing the esentials everyone mentions. The color strips.
