Biggest issue here is, ensuring the BR player is setup in a way it is not influencing the video output with color errors.Tom Huffman is a great guy and still answers ALL of my stupid questions via email Look hard at both before buying a package with one or the other, because meters are often locked and you are stuck once you jump in. Chromapure - I was originally a Calman user, and I know a lot of folks like Spectracal, but from a support and ease of use standpoint, I enjoyed my switch to CP and intend to stay with them.If I had to choose one, it'd prob be the Spears disc because it offers enough for the basics, plus the advanced patterns.

Disney WOW - Easier menu's than DVE so it is more first time friendly, and has nice extra's.As well as testing how your display handles it.
Spears and Munsil - Has all the goodies like DVE, but also offers a lot of Chroma and Luma tests for things like RGB vs ycbcr and 422 vs 444 output from source devices.DVE - Very good for sharpness and contrast, as well as brightness and has some resolution patterns.As many know, one great way to setup your HDTV without a full blown calibration is to use a basic test disc.
