In Reply to: DVD suggestions; Image quality. What are your reference videos? posted by Jack Seaton on April 16, 2005 at 12:26:36:

Below are some threads that list many DVDs used for reference picture quality. One thing that I will add to this topic, pertaining to "quality", is the quality of the DVD player and the display. If you have a DVD player that sucks at deinterlacing, presents macroblocking or other annoying artifacts when used with your display or have a display that hasn't been set up with at least a calibration disc, it does take away from the reference experience.

That said, here are some threads on image quality:
