I review TV’s and video and do this with every TV I try. The good ones now, however, are excellent out of the box. Just set it for home use (as opposed to store demo) and in the menus set it to “professional,” THX, “cinema” or whatever comparable setting they offer. Some offer ISF setting, which is the setting the test disc would be going for anyway.

More important, turn off all the nannies, like noise reduction. Edge enhancement, 120/240 or whatever Hz. The pic might look a tad flat at first but it’s the way to go - getting the original signal from source to destination as unchanged as possible.

Cheers,
Jim

I’d rate my Sony as awesome
my two Vizios as pretty good
and my (China) iSymphony as you get what you pay for

Yeah, it was my understanding that today's TVs had calibration built in and that they didn't need this. That said I'm a beginner and still learning.
