There are so many things you need to know about HDTV TVs these days. Just keeping up with all the new connections and wiring that you need for a basic Home Theater is a lot of information.
Of course, you can pay to have everything professionally installed and maintained, but that is a lot of money. Fortunately, there are a lot of things that can be done by someone with a DIY bent. The key is to find an information source that you can rely on.
Most technology enthusiasts are eager to share their knowledge and experience. That is what we at Whirlwindz HDTV TVs are building. An independent body of HDTV recommendations and reviews. In the near term, we will be rolling out a review application so that you can share your knowledge, information and recommendations with others that are looking to make an HDTV related purchase.
In the meantime, I would heartily recommend, the Digital Video Essentials: HD Basics tool for calibrating your HDTV. Most people don’t realize that when a manufacturer ships an HDTV, they adjust the controls so that it will view best under florescent, showroom lights, not usually the lighting conditions presented in the average living room. In order to correctly calibrate your newly purchased HDTV, you can either choose to pay a few hundred dollars to have it done professionally or you can spend a much smaller amount and do it yourself. This also gives you the additional benefit of being able to recalibrate at a later date… for free.
Digital Video Essentials gives you a completely menu driven system that includes explanations for each step, test patterns to allow you to do the actual adjustments and even tests to perform to adjust your sound system. It is a complete tune-up for your HDTV.
Digital Video Essentials: HD Basics is truly an essential tool for the HDTV owner.
