"I always told myself size wasn`t important - `til I wanted a new telly"

Bought a dvd lens cleaning disc from Wilkinsons the other week for £3.99 it also had a few audio and video set up tests but forgot about it until now so don`t know too much else about it yet , will try and remember to check it out in the morning .

Doh it is the morning :/ , well later on then.

It`s got to be worth a go at that price - I have Avia, which to be honest is almost too much of a good thing - there`s so many tests on there. However, it`s comforting to run the tests through and be happy you`re getting the best out of your equipment.

It is pretty good for what I gave for it , although I view these as a bonus as I purely bought it for the lens cleaner facility it has a 29 second sound effect test , 1 minute 17 second surround sound and speaker set up test , 2 minute monitor colour adjustment test , 1 minute 24 seconds animation to test sound and colour and a 5 minute 20 seconds video clip to test sound and colour again.

Seems strange that it`s Pan and Scan 1.33:1 for a video tune-up disc, no?

Ste

How can it set up surround sound if the audio format is only in Stereo !!!

Cant see it being any good, better off buying an Imax disc

Out of interest, where can you buy the avia set up disc?

Gingerone, I got mine from Amazon.ca, but as it`s over £18, I got hit by customs too. Ouch. If you want a borrow of mine, drop me an email - to be honest, it`s not the sort of thing you ue time and time again (unless you`re Mr Bruce, of course).
