TweedleWink experience?

[iLusion]

Hi y'all

I was looking at the options/ products/ methods available for 3+ kids. One of which that stands prominently in the list is TwiddleWink. Has anybody already has done this program for their child. If yes, it would be great if you could post your experiences here. Did you start from volume 1 and went sequence wise? how useful is the multilanguage dvd if a person is already doing little pim?

If you look on our product partners board, or do a search for Tweedlewink, you will find reviews and thoughts from the parents who have used it.

I bought the set but don't like the pictures at all. They are very blury,  I had a feeling it's not worth the price. Granted my TV is 42" but these days generaly everybody has big tv's right? One good thing is it is all very well organised and you don't have to put any effort. All you need to do is just pop in the dvd

THanks nhockaday! I will check other parents thoughts there.

Hi Heath,
I have a 42" tv too. Do you think showing these dvds on a laptop might make a difference? I will send an email to them and see  what's there take on this.
THanks!

I have no experience with this product, but I know that the resolution of my large TV is under 800x600, so it is much less clear than my laptop, which is set to 1280x1024 pixels. I imagine a high definition TV would have a much finer resolution, but if the resolution of the video itself is low, it won't help.

Watching it on a laptop would likely solve the issue of whether it was the limitation of the TV or whether it was the product, though.

I always showed them on my 19" LCD monitor. You are supposed to watch them with your child on your lap, and I think it would be easier to sit at the computer rather than sitting on the couch watching TV. He probably would have wanted to get down and play with toys.

I was thinking about buying this program, but I'm just not sure  I e-mailed them and once the videos are open you can't return them. So if the quality is bad that will really be a bad idea for righ brain material 

[purplefungi]

Yeah, I'm a little disappointed if they really are blurry!

[Joha]

Does anyone know of a product like this, but with good quality?

[purplefungi]

We should make one. It would be very time consuming, though.

This is what RBK said about the "blurry images"

Yes, depending upon your television, some pixelation can occur.  You see, TweedleWink Lessons 1-12 were made during the pre-HDTV (and pre-DVD) era.  For example, Monet's works show up really well on a 20" flat screen and a larger 32" older non-flat screen television.  The images tend to stretch on large-screen TVs, especially those with HDTV, and therefore some of them may pixelate. Older televisions use technology that is 72 dpi (dots per inch).  Now technology is introducing much higher dpi.

You may find that the later versions are better that way.  When HDTV was introduced, we had the choice of either going back to redo the earlier versions and stop the production of Lessons 20-48, or just go forward.  We posed the question to our online parent community and the response was overwhelming: "No!  Please finish the 48-week lesson plan!  Our children are ready for the next lessons."  So, that is what we are doing.

Yes, the first couple of DVDs have some blurry pictures, but I have found that the later DVDs are much better.

Well, it impresses me that they asked the consumers what their preferences are. Thanks for looking into that, nhockaday.

It would probably look pretty cruddy on my television. This is a shame. I might still be interested in it. We'll see.

I just ordered the whole package yesterday night with the Brillkids discount
I will share my experience here about the image quality.

purplefungi,
It's a great idea. we all could really do something for a community use here

[staceycanada]

They look really good we may just have to use them on our older bedroom tv.
