This thing is great! I wish it had a dust cover, but otherwise have zero complaints. And it's the perfect thing (considering my insatiable appetite for storage -and- the ridiculous prices of HUGE hard drives these days).
Digital Video Essentials
Did you know that new displays come from the factory with contrast and brightness settings configured waaaay too high? It's so the displays look good on a bright showroom floor. If you've just purchased a fancy new display, the first thing you'll need to do is calibrate it.
You can either pay someone a few hundred dollars -or- go into the display's settings, switch it from it's current "Showroom" profile to something dimmer -- perhaps called something like "Cinema". Then spend ~$20 on a disk like DVE that will take you step-by-step through the finer points of audio / video calibration.
