Ok. It was worth the 18 bucks and not anywhere as bad to figure out and
navigate through as the reviews indicated.

Best thing to do is just watch and listen to the various information
sections before diving into any adjustments.
I didn't bother with all of it, but it was worth doing some of the basic
setups like black level, color (using the blue filter) and sharpness
setting
which is not very well understood by most consumers and was explained well
in the narrative. Most sets have all three set way too high. Even doing
the very basic setups resulted in a nicer, sharper and more natural
picture
on the 50" plasma.

I spent more time testing my system with the audio tests. Turns out I had
it well adjusted, just by ear.
Also found out my hearing drops off at about 16,000 Hz, but Sam Adams
confirmed the Martin Logan's go up over 21,000 Hz based on his cocked head
while staring at the speaker under test. 16,000 Hz isn't too bad for an
old
fart. The subwoofer test sweeps from 15 Hz to 150 Hz and my ears could
just
begin to detect them at 22 Hz. Below that, all that was noticeable was a
slight vibration in the floor.

I'll play with it some more, but it was worth the money.
