Product Description
Stacey Spears and Don Munsil, who created the highly-regarded DVD Player BenchmarkTM and Progressive Scan Shootout at Secrets of Home Theater and High Fidelity®, have applied all their technical wizardry to this Blu-ray test and evaluation disc. "The static test patterns represent the current state-of-the-art. They are more accurate than the test patterns found on previous discs. There are a lot of subtle details that go into making them as mathematically accurate as possible, especially since you are dealing with lossy encoding. We have built propriety tools to generate the synthetic patterns. We use a custom encoder that will preserve as much detail as possible. Even the simple color bars have unique traits that make them cleaner. - Stacey Spears, author of the disc" [Picture Quality Calibration and Evaluation Tool for Displays, Blu-ray Players and Video Processors] (IMPORTANT NOTICE: This disc is a high-definition disc and is compatible only with Blu-ray players. It will not play on a standard DVD player.)


Customer Reviews:
5 out of 5 stars Very useful setup disk   June 10, 2010
J. Hamilton (UK)
1 out of 1 found this review helpful

Got this for use on a Panasonic TX-P46G20. Worked well, not that much needed tweaking. Haved used the digital essentials DVD in the past. The patterns on this disk seemed a lot better, although you don't get the video tutorials.


5 out of 5 stars Does what it says in the tin   June 23, 2010
Mr. A. N. Harris (Wales)
Easy to use and will improve your picture noticablly

I have used other calibration discs bought on amazon.
They arent a patch on this. This is very professional with a blue filter included.
All you need is 20-30 mins max.
Highly recommended.



4 out of 5 stars Spears &munsil HD benchmark calibration disc   July 14, 2010
J. W. Cliff (Nottingham England)
It is very difficult with out using this disc to get the best performance out of your new HD television.Being a TV engineer it was very easy to achieve good display callibration.Recommended for anyone pushing that extra ounce of quality from new TVs.


3 out of 5 stars Works OK - But !!!   July 24, 2010
George Scott Dingwall (Scotland)
I used this on a Bravia EX703 and it does give a reasonable result in a fairly short time. Only real criticism is that a lot of the display patterns show things that you don't necessarily have any access to with getting into the service menus. I'm not sure if I ended up with a display that is any better than if I had just twiddled the dials for a while, or even just copied the settings from my other Bravia TV. So not entirely convinced by this product.
