I was particularly impressed with the cleanliness of the source -- it's crystal clear, with excellent blacks and very natural contrast. Colors are vibrant, yet very clean -- and they're refreshingly free from oversaturation. Detail is often exquisite, and the sense of depth is often akin to looking out of a freshly-scrubbed window. --Reviewed by Peter M. Bracke_Tuesday, June 12, 2007

 Pretty and RelaxingJul 31, 2007
By FlyingAlex
Very very pretty and relaxing. Good to just chill out and relax or as a background to the party or a dinner. Just like looking out the window and with some soft classical type music playing in background.
This one has a bit of everything, and they are all good. There is also full hour version for each envinroment if you find one that you like in particular.
I dunno what the other reviewer is smoking, but i found the quality to be excellent both video and sound wise.

A glorious visual and audio experienceAug 06, 2007
By Midwest Book Review
Filmed in 1080i high definition with 5.1 surround sound, and available in both DVD and HD-DVD format, Living Landscapes The World's Most Beautiful Places earns its title with a glorious visual and audio experience. The cinematography does not disrupt the soothing images and sounds of nature with verbal narration; birds, ocean waves, and calm background music accompanies the breathtakingly beautiful display. A loop feature allows one to play the DVD for pleasant background effect as if hanging an ever-changing picture. Enthusiastically recommended for armchair travelers, and anyone who wants to play a DVD solely to relax and enjoy the wonders of natural creation. 75 minutes, color.

 Almost Like Being ThereAug 23, 2007
By John DeRoos
There's about 5 to 10 minutes visit in each area. It's similar to camping out in these areas with the nature sounds coming through. The music is monotonous. I would've liked to seen a little bit of narration here & there with the music in the background during the narration. If you want to relax & see Landscapes from different parts of the World, this is the way to do it.

 The World's Most Beautiful Places HD DVDDec 27, 2007
By Morris Moser
Photography 5 star, music terrible, includes a child plinkining away on a piano at a pitch that actually starts to irritate after a few minutes, also these people think so highly of themselves that they ruin the images by keeping their logo on most of the time. Not even NG. has ever done that. Overtall rating 0 stars, I've thrown my copy in the garbage where I personally think it belongs.

spectacular introduction to HD DVDAug 24, 2007
By William Jones
"txbjones"
this is so very beautiful and peaceful - a great introduction to HD DVD - picture quality is excellent - sound is very good - I like "new age" instrumental music and these selections are very good - stress just melts away - some are naturally better than others, but they are all great - good overview of the series - very highly recommended - I am ordering the entire series
