    How much of a difference should I expect between how my TV looks now, calibrate by myself using DVE and a full-blown ISF calibration? Also, how the heck do I know what services I should have done? Bill

    DVD players withOUT DD/DTS Processing

    It continues to puzzle me as to why almost all DVD players still incorporate surround processors into their machines. By now, the vast majority of buyers of DVD players fall into two camps: Those that own a Reciever/Pre-Pro with processing built in. Those that have no interest in HT and just...
