![]() ![]() THX's engineers said that those specs cover contrast ratio, color gamut based on the HDTV standard, uniformity, viewing angle, gamma, and still picture resolution (as of this year, motion resolution is not part of the spec, although the company is considering adding it for the next product cycle). The THX Display Certification featured on the Panasonic and LG HDTVs is similar to the company's audio certification in that it consists of a series of minimum specifications that each display must meet to earn the certification, claim it in in-store displays, and bear the requisite logos. ![]() THX didn't say when its disc would be available or for how much. I just spoke with a few of the people from THX involved in the development of the specification for the firm's new Display Certification, featured on the Panasonic TH-PZ800U and LG PG60 series plasma TVs, and when I asked them whether they'd be letting some of their test material and methods trickle down into disc form, they said "yes." According to THX's reps, the Blu-ray disc would be an expanded version of the THX Optimizer found on select DVDs, and would feature test material aimed at a less-technical audience than the only other full-fledged Blu-ray test disc available now, Joe Kane's Digital Video Essentials: HD Basics, which is used extensively in CNET's own HDTV testing.
