HQV benchmark disk gets upgraded to 2.0

The good news: HQV has released a new 2.0 version of their calibration disc and it only costs $20! The bad news, it’s already unavailable. Doh! I’ve worked with disc duplication, and it would make no sense for them to have produced so few of a disc so rarely changed that they ran out already…so I’m guessing production is just a bit behind.

And so the folks over at HQV have provided benchmark Blu-ray Discs that could make just about any proud new HDTV owner cry when they discovered that their new TV doesn’t really get the job done right. Following the same trend, HQV has updated its disc to 2.0 and now it can expose HD chipsets of their inability to properly reduce compression artifacts, scale video or process color. Unlike the first version of the disc, this one also includes some calibration patterns so you no longer have to buy another disc for basic HDTV configurations.
