As any good home theater enthusiast knows, the proper calibration of your display is the key step in achieving presentation quality that will knock your socks off. If, like most people however, you're reluctant to invest in a professional ISF calibration of your equipment, then a do-it-yourself calibration disc is exactly what you need.

Blu-ray disc zone free, will play on all BD players

 Features:

• Calibration patterns for all major display controls
• Evaluation patterns for measuring display and player quality
• Clips to test deinterlacing performance
• Samples of different video and audio codecs
• All patterns created at 1080p in native color space using custom software

Quote:

"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
