Calibration disc

[SaintsFan]

Could anyone reccommend a calibration disc and if they are worth the trouble?

Yes they are worth it. I got the Digital Video Essentials for like 25 bucks online.

A super easy one to use is the calibration disc putout by Sound & Vision. You can get it for about $12 if you search around for it. It's much easier to navigate than DVE.

Ditto that. I have Avia and Digital Essentials . Both are available at amazon.com. Any calibated disk better than the factory settings as you will see when you get one.

You may also try the THX Optimizer that comes with movies such as Nemo, etc. You'll only need to order the "blue" glasses ($2) from https://secure.brandlocker.com/promos/thxpromo.cfm

Cool. The glasses, I mean. I about went nuts with the little color strip that came with the Avia disk trying to get it to work. It's been some time since I've used it and don't remember what settings used the other color strips. Do you know where to find similar glasses for the other colors?

The blue glasses are everything you need if you want to use the THX Optimizer. I'm not sure (familiar) with the Avia disk.

The blue is the only color you need with any of them. I have like 4 different calibration discs and they all came with a blue strip.

Actually AVIA is coming with 3 (blue, green and red) of them, so you can adjust the different color as well.
