Blu-ray reference disk recommendations - Blu-ray Forum

rlmbluray · 02-14-2008, 10:40 PM

Just got a new Sharp Acquos Blu-ray player, and want to pick up a couple of disk to test with.

What would be this forum's recommendations if they were buying one or two disks for beginning reference testing?

I want to test various audio formats as well as show true 1080i on my Pioneer elite 61" plasma monitor.

Movie's preferable?

Thanks

Good eye. I didn't even notice that. Probably just a typo.

Just look at the top rated movies on blu-ray.com or list movies in order of their star ratings on highdefdigest.com. Then pick the best from your favorite genre. I really like all the POTC movies on blu.

Cars, Apocalypto, Ratatouille, Pirates, "insert Disney title here"

Legends of Jazz with Ramsey Lewis.

The PQ is awesome, and the Dolby True-HD track is phenomenal

Planet Earth
Pirates of the Carribbean
Ratatouille
Bridge to Terabithia

Just some of the movies I would use to show off my Blu-Ray player. I've already showed my Grandparents 'Ratatouille' in Blu. And they were amazed.
