I’ll be honest: For the most part, testing a TV isn’t exciting. Most of the process involves flashing differently colored boxes on the screen and measuring them with a doohickey. Thrilling.But at some point, I get to tuck away my TV-testing equipment, toss on a few Blu-rays and treat myself to a feast for the eyes. Unfortunately, the better the TV, the longer it takes me to finish a review.Over the years, I’ve put together a small collection of 4K Blu-rays that make the most out of the best TVs on the market. Some of these flicks feature scintillating lights and psychedelic colors — perfect fodder for a bright, punchy QLED. Others put the high-contrast characteristics of an OLED to the test. Here’s a peek at what I’m working with.1. "Speed Racer" (2008)

Or maybe you’re breaking in an all-new RGB LED TV and need a double-dose of dazzling, dream-like imagery.In any event, the kaleidoscopic, kinetic visuals of Lana and Lilly Wachowski’s 2008 cult-classic is the perfect pick for people who want to push a TV to its limits. Best of all? It’s a damn good movie, to boot.This 4K disc is brand-new, having just dropped back in May. Ahead of its release, fans of the film — myself included — crossed our fingers for a transfer that did this remarkable-looking movie justice. I’m happy to report that “Speed Racer” has never looked better on a TV screen. It ought to be a staple in any physical media-collector’s catalogue.2. “The Northman” (2022)
