Or find a copy of any movie DVD with the THX Optimizer on it. They will have all the images and instructions you need. No single image is sufficient. Kal |

TIA Steve The best way is to start at the middle and display a test pattern which has the faintest image in the background. Move down until that image disappears and then move up until that image just barely appears again. A good program called 3 Deep came with an old video card and there are others out there to download. |

No single image is sufficient. Kal Some local libraries have DVDs for loan which have the THX optimizer, although it may be hard to find the exact one out of hundreds. Anything with lots of special effects that says THX. Also some libraries have books on DVD which have a CD or DVD in it which do some of those tests. |

TIA Steve The DVE and Avia calibration DVDs come with colored filters that you use when calibrating your set. You can't just "eyeball" it. I understand that library copies often no longer have the filters. |
