Onkyo TX-SR605 review

Reviews Setting up the system is extremely simple using the advanced automatic calibration system augmented by basic Audyssey 2EQ and clearly presented menu screens. We also found the automatic calibration system quite time consuming.

Samsung SyncMaster 305T review

Reviews As far as calibration options are concerned, there is only one. Samsung has included controls for brightness calibration and nothing else. There are only a handful of vendors -- Apple, Dell, Hewlett-Packard,

Cambridge Audio Azur 540R (Version 3) review

Reviews Most rival receivers in this class also include an automatic calibration system based on a supplied microphone that leaves the time-consuming setup process down to technology. It's missing several features, such as integrated video up-conversion...

Pioneer PDP-435XDE review

Reviews Even without any professional calibration, the colour performance of the PDP-435XDE straight out of the box is quite good compared to most other plasmas we've reviewed. After an ISF-style calibration, we spun up some of our favorite DVD movie titles.

Judging picture quality

Reviews You'll often see CNET reviews mention calibration or the ISF. Alternatively, you can use a calibration DVD to help you adjust the television. Don't fall for brightness. Almost every television on the sales floor is set to the brightest picture...

Sony DAV-DZ830 review

Reviews There's also a microphone-based calibration system that automatically adjusts all the audio settings without you having to make any effort. Sony's DAV-DZ830 is an unsurprisingly stylish home-cinema system that features a full 5.1 speaker...

Philips-Nike MP3Run review
