Hi jr1948,

Welcome to the forum, hope this is your first of many.

Yes, you would get more out of your TV by calibrating it, you can purchase the DVE disk here, this is an alternative.

You can get the DVE essentails disc from play.com. £14.

Hi,

I checked Amazon Uk, they sell through a third party, and one of the sellers states you need a multiregion player, I would expect these discs to be region free.

That is why I put in the link to Movietyme, they guarantee region free discs.

Play.com 6-8 weeks delivery.

Does anyone else have experience of using the Spears & Munsil calibration disc? Recommended?
