    You obviously missed my point. Let me make it a little more pointed:

    - You spent, I don't know how much to have your TV professionally calibrated.

    - I spent ZERO dollars to have my screen calibrated and set the colors and all to the way I like them.

    - You have black crush issues with the HDX movies.

    - I have no such issues with any source.

    Ergo: Does calibration really help?

    Don't get me wrong - a calibration video should indeed be part of the permanent library on Vudu - no question about it. I just find it interesting.

    I've seen a few posts complaining about the black crush but even after watching some very dark movies like Pitch Black and The Strangers I've yet to see it. I can only conclude that I've been lucky with LCD calibration (last time I calibrated it was when I bought my Oppo DVD player).

    Test patterns sound like a very good idea. A few static images accessible from the set up screen. Instructions could be placed in the online faq or here in the forums for the uninitiated (or for those like me who have just forgotten!)

    started a topic Test patterns, are they on the short list?

    Test patterns, are they on the short list?

    I am convinced after watching Hellboy 2 tonight that the black crush I'm seeing is due to the fact that my Fujitsu was calibrated to work with another HD output device.

    I have had my Fuji professionally calibrated by an ISF certified technician, which of course requires loading up a DVD and generating a test pattern.

    Can Vudu provide a way to show a test pattern from the advanced screen? I would think this is a very easy upgrade to the software. As of now dark scenes are totaly crushed on my monitor. I could have my ISF guy come and we could load up a film that he is familiar with and he could calibrate that way, but I think that would still be somewhat hackish compared to what should be done for this display.
