DVD Test Card

Hi all.

Anybody know where I can get a dvd test card as the geometry on my Samsung 28inch WS appears to be a little off.

Also, can anyone tell me why horizaontal lines can sometimes look ok, then go bendy. Often when the brightness of the image is constant. Especially when the camera pans. If I get an engineer out to adjust the set what kind of ball park price should they charge?

Cheers

All (?) THX certified DVDs have a THX optimiser on them which contains some test signals.

The Best of Have I Got News For You has Test Card W half way through it. That's the 16x9 version of the good old one with the little girl and blackboard.
