Holy cow - I learn something new every day. I almost feel dumb for not knowing about this. On all THX-certified DVD titles (most Pixar and Lucasfilm titles fall into this category), there is a calibration tool for your TV hidden in the 'setup' section of the DVD. This tool allows you to adjust things like the contrast / picture; brightness; colour; tint / hue and sharpness controls on your TV using test video signals. It's not a fool-proof system, but it lets you tweak your TV to get it closer to displaying the type of picture the director wanted you to see (and it does a decent job of just plain balancing the settings on your TV for a good looking picture).
No monthly fees, no equipment to install
