I need to be careful not to let this thread derail, as I think it belongs on this sub rather than the Home Cinema sub, because of the subject matter. (Let's avoid LCD vs. OLED, 1080p vs 4K content availability etc.)
To all of my fellow movie buffs, next weekend I'll be viewing an array of 4K TVs, so which source material should I bung on a USB stick to audition and compare against each TV and why? Which movie scenes are memorable?
Just remember, I'll be testing in-store so need to avoid anything that would upset children and parents.
I tried a Bluray 1080p MKV of Big Hero 6 today on a few TVs, but I'd like a little "toolkit". I may even just cut certain scenes from certain movies, if I own them, to test specific parts on each TV.
Open to suggestions on more fitting test material if theres any suggestions.

- Something with big panning shots, to test judder
- Something with dark scenes to test how inky the blacks are
- Something with vivid colours, well, to test how vivid the colours are
- Something that shows resolution/clarity that was shot well
- Etc.
