Which Setup Disc Do You Use?

Scott Wilkinson  |  Nov 11, 2011

As regular readers of this site know, we strongly encourage all video enthusiasts to take a few minutes to tweak their display's basic picture controls—brightness, contrast, color, tint, and sharpness—to get the best possible picture quality short of a full professional calibration. There are several inexpensive Blu-rays and DVDs that provide all the images you need to accurately set these controls. My question is, which one do you use? Or do you watch your display without making these simple adjustments?
