There is also an online tutorial (You Tube) on how to use it. There is something called "AVSHD 709" which you can download and burn it to a DVD or Blu-ray. I have used this in the past and always had very good results. This is easy to use and comes with instructions on how to use, you still have to send for the blue filter, but it doesn't cost very much. On some blu-rays, you may find the THX Optimiser.

If you are a keen AV enthusiast, you will probably be more akin on how to use some of the generators on the disc, but really if you just want to set your TV up to get a good picture there are cheaper (and some free) options for you. This disc can only be used on a 4K blu-ray player, not just a normal blu-ray player. Neither does it include a blue filter (though if you are a Samsung or LG owner, this filter may be built into your TV settings options) which you need to get get the correct colour & tint settings. If you want to know these you have to go to the Spears & Munsil website and look at the guide on how to use it to achieve the best picture on your TV. It doesn't come with ANY instructions on how is the best to use the disc.
#AVS HD 709 CALIBRATION DISC REVIEW PROFESSIONAL#
There are a lot of pattern generators on this disc which only a professional would need, and know, how to use. However, if you want something so that you can just get a good picture on your TV, this may be a waste of money. This is an ideal purchase if you are a professional calibrator and have the equipment you need to calibrate TV's. This is a mixed bag - there are good points and bad points. Honestly, I believe my home Cinema setup is now as good as it will ever get, without spending a GREAT DEAL of money upgrading my hardware, all over again. And honestly, only a purist would consider getting something like this. So.it’s expensive, but it’s worth it for a home Cinema purist. Make sure you buy the Blu-ray one as well as this 4K disc, and the result will be great. I have deducted one star, because the menus are not helpful and the overall instructions are just missing. I had forgotten how irritating the lens flare is, but the overall picture was better than had ever seen it before. The opening of Bladerunner, and bits of Star Trek. A video slideshow of snowy Yellowstone, which provide good examples for a bright, clear, sharp, precise and very detailed image.

There are a series of short clips to use as a test reel. Having sound and picture out-of-sync can be very distracting. I found that altering the sync setting on the Blu-ray player gave a more accurate result than using the Soundbar settings. The most useful tool for me has allowed me to perfectly adjust the audio/visual sync settings, so that I finally get perfect lip sync. This is on a 50inch LCD 4K (2160p) with High Dynamic Range.Įven then, it requires both patience and practice, but with a little effort it yields amazing results in picture performance. I think my display is now as good as it shall ever get. The Blu-ray (1080p HD) optimiser for the blue filter and the instructions, and this disc to optimise your 4K tv. They were included in the Blu-ray version, but not this 4K one.

I was more concerned that the blue filter lenses, to optimise the colour/tint values were not included. I was worried when other reviewers said there were no instructions, but the previous version (on Blu-ray) does give test pattern instructions.

The results they produce are just astonishing. The test patterns are the important thing here. The menus are not exactly the most user-friendly.
