If you REALLY want to test out a system's capability, get a copy of the HD-mastered version of Resident Evil.
There are several places to look:
check the full-screen flash of Alice's eye when she first wakes up. looks for sharp definition between the color lines.
any of the computer displays generated by the Red Queen uses ever-decreasing font sizes in both red and white letters. See what the smallest size you can read. this will test your resolution, especially at the outer edges of the screen, which are normally the worst for resolution. this DVD goes 16:9, so it will check both the top and bottom of your screen, with no wasted black bars for inperfections to hide in.
look at the name tags on the commando team when they first enter the mansion. the lighting is bad and the names are black-on-dark grey. this will test your contrast.
as a final check, when Alice comes out of the hospital, there is a split-second where you should be able to read the name on the badge of the doctor's lab coat she has stolen.
