what's included on sony discs is not the thx calibration screen. you get 4 test patterns and as far as i know the only thing you can really calibrate with it is brightness.


as for the thx calibration screen, the only title i know of is Terminator 2: Judgement Day. there's calibrations for contrast, brightness, and color.

Thank you very much. I know of the calibration easter egg on Sony Blu rays but I have a better understanding of the THX optimizer. I will check out the tests on AVS definately.


I have calibrated my settings dozens of times still haven't got it right yet. I drive the wifey crazy, so I need to get this done before I catch a bad one lol.


Cheers

Don't know about Avatar. But it is on Monster's Inc (the companion DVD anyway).

I guess the resolution (blu-ray vs dvd) doesn't really matter except for the sharpness test pattern. I used the thx optimizer on one of my dvd's to calibrate my dad's hdtv.


Are there any blu-ray's with the optimizer on the bd in 1080?

Like I said above, there's a few listed on THX.com, and one is Avatar. Maybe I have a different edition.

I can't seem to find which Blu-rays have the THX audio optimizer on them. I think my front right speaker and my center channel speaker's wiring are switched. I can't figure out how to do the test tone on my receiver and I'd rather find out how to test it through a Blu-ray since it would show me which speaker it's testing via lighting up an image of the speaker it's testing. Blu-rays I have. I have:


Fight Club

Risky Business

Office Space

Casino

Goodfellas

Hall Pass

Matrix 1-3(Ultimate Matrix Collection)

The Shawshank Redemption

Batman Begins

Fifth Element(Remastered)

Braveheart

Full Metal Jacket

The Godfather 1-3

Pulp Fiction (Polish import

Jackie Brown (Polish Import)

Inglorious Basterds

The Dark Knight

Casino Royale (collectors edition)

Quantum of Solace

Heat

Hangover

Man On Fire

Sin City

Alien

Aliens

Superbad

12 Monkeys

Knocked Up

Reservoir Dogs

Requiem for a Dream

Funny People

American Beauty

Boogie Nights

Avatar(standard 1 disc edition)

Apocalypse Now/Redux

Inception

Snatch

Kill Bill 1&2

Iron Man 1&2


I thought I saw on the thx.com website that Avatar was a THX certified release,but I didn't see the optimizer in the menu.


Anyone know if any of these titles have a THX Optimizer set up either in the menu or as a hidden Easter Egg?
