The latest scourge is Ma-Ma, a prostitute-turned-drug pusher with a dangerous new drug and aims to take over the city. The Ultra HD Benchmark is available from MediaLight Bias Lighting and other dealers and is currently priced at $47.95 (around £39 / AU$72).Description: In the future, America is a dystopian wasteland. As interested as I am in the new video test patterns, there so far hasn’t been a good Dolby Atmos test disc available, and I’m looking forward to using the Benchmark’s audio tones to set up and evaluate soundbar systems and speakers. Not only does the new Ultra HD Benchmark provide both basic and advanced video test patterns for calibrating your TV’s picture settings for viewing regular HD and 4K video with HDR (in Dolby Vision and HDR10+, no less), but it now has audio test tones to set up the best Dolby Atmos soundbars and speaker systems built around the best AV receivers. Otherwise, you’re fumbling in the dark, making tweaks to your TV’s settings until its picture looks subjectively good. Using a video test disc like the Ultra HD Benchmark is the only way you’ll know if your TV or projector’s picture settings have been calibrated properly, and that you’re objectively seeing it in its best light. Conversely, highlight detail can be lost due to pictures being overly bright. The effect of this may be that dark details in pictures get swallowed in the shadows, or that black levels are elevated, causing pictures to have reduced contrast and visual impact. But the reality of the situation is that even the most accurate TV preset picture modes can be inaccurate, and in some cases by quite a bit. Some TVs provide a Filmmaker or Movie mode intended to present an “accurate” picture. Video test patterns on the Benchmark are available in the Dolby Vision, HDR10+, and HDR10 formats and there's an option to play them at various peak brightness levels (Image credit: Spears & Munsil) Opinion: HDR can be all over the map, and a test disc can help ensure your TV is handling it properlyĪ TV reviewer owning a 4K Blu-ray test disc is understandable, but do you need one? The answer to that question is yes – if you want your TV or projector to display images that come close to what a film's director intended for them to look like when the movie was originally mastered.
