Having a hard time..

post #1 of 3
Thread Starter 
I am having a hard time picking a calibration disk to calibrate my new TV.

I just bought a Samsung PN59D6500.

These are the 3 disk I think I want to choose one from:

Spears & Munsil High-Definition Benchmark
DVE HD Basics
Disney WOW World of Wonder

All are Blu-ray

I just picked up the Disney WOW and have the others. The Disney WOW is good if you have not ever used any media assisted discs for making TV settings. It is very menu driven, allows for begginer, novice or advanced choices for each test pattern and also has explanations as to how's and why's as you do them if desired. Spears & Munsil (S&M) allows easier movement from one test pattern to another as does DVE if you already are famiiar with test screens and what order to use them.

So. . . if you are just starting, WOW might be a good choice, but you might consider S&M or DVE as a second choice. I have all of them for comparison and their differing test patters and methods.

I am just starting out. First 'real' TV actually. I have had a 24' LCD for forever. I think I will get WOW or Spears and Munsil's disk.
