17 of the best film scenes to test picture quality

You've followed our 'How to set up your TV and get the best picture' guide and you're ready to put your incredible new TV through its paces. All you need now is the content to prove it was money well spent (and a room full of people to show it all off to) - the best film scenes to test picture quality is why you're here.

Every TV and projector that passes through our home cinema rooms is tested using some of the latest and greatest 4K Blu-rays, so we've put together a list of some of our favourite film scenes which we use for revealing just how worthy the display we're watching really is.

Some are helpful for examining colour and contrast, others are better tests of detail and motion handling, but all will let you see for yourself just how good your TV or projector is at its job.
