 All,

I was tweaking the knobs on a Panasonic "Color Video Monitor"
(NTSC/"VTR input" version of a Panasonic 19" TV marketed to the AV
crowd, not the home consumer), and I realized that since I don't have
any genuine TV diagnostic tools, but I do have modern things like a
DVD player that can play CDs, etc, wouldn't it be handy to have a VCD
of color bars, etc., as a reference to adjust composite-input devices?

Does anyone know of the existence of such a thing? 
There are a number of diagnostic DVD's intended to setup your home
theater. I have an older one called "Avia" which has a fairly wide
range of video and audio tests - It does color bars and numerous other
video tests, and comes with colored filters that you use to look at the
screen during some of the color tests.

Regards,
Dave
