How To Calibrate Your HDTV.

By Chrisjob

You spend all that time researching your new tv...then you spend all that money purchasing your new tv, and all that effort to get it hung at just the right height, to figure out the remote, etc.

This article from the New York Times helps you with that final step: calibrating your TV to get the colors, brightness, and contrast just right.

Options include:

Having the electronics store (such as Best Buy's Geek Squad) do the work, but for a significant price
Reducing the amount of light
Finding a THX optimizer on a DVD (such as the Incredibles or Toy Story...I also remember the anniversary edition of Eraserhead offering a light/dark contrast set up tool)
Use a calibration software DVD (around $30)
