I already did in my first post:

I will take 'better' as having a higher dynamic range. I always use Terminator 2 as my test DVD, but I have also experienced it with Star Wars 2 (space ship with Amidala blow up scene), U571 and actually a lot more. The meta data is virtually always present, so all you need to have is a title that you know so you have reference material.

Alright, will work on that.
