I do not recommend using the THX patterns. Only as a stop-gap.

Why is that Chris? I thought George Lucas and his THX system was so highly respected. Or is that just for the audio portion?
Is there anything other than Wall-E? I normally don't watch cartoons.

It really shouldn't be different than a DVD. The DVD in an upscaling player the player should be switching the color space from 601 to 709 for you, the resolution will be 1080p.

Every device that up-converts 480 to 1080 SHOULD convert the SD color to HD correctly, unfortunately very few (perhaps very very few) do it. Most do NOTHING but up-convert and you are left with a problem that annoys me quite a bit... reds from SD sources (like DVD) that are noticeably too orange. This is easiest to detect with familiar colors of red... London buses, Coke advertising, American flag red, Stop signs, etc. Other colors are affected as well, but I find the reds are much easier to spot as being a problem than anything else. There are few video displays that have selectable SMPTE-C and Rec 709 color matrix settings (some Sony XBR models have had that setting, don't recall it in other displays but there are probably some others).

Do any Blu-ray movies have the THX Optimizer? If so, will the settings come out different than if you used the THX Optimizer on a standard DVD?
