We went to AVS Forums and looked at the professional calibration numbers. We also discovered that we could enable THX by programming our harmony remote to the service remote settings

I used this, but I didn't pay $85 for it. Quite a few people say the Disney Disc is good too.
Just getting the numbers off AVS Forums may not be the best option, since each room is different and since most people don't have rooms set up properly for THX, using those settings isn't necessarily going to get you the best picture either.

I've had a disc for forever that has all the test images. Five minutes with that thing makes a world of difference. For audio my receiver has a test mic that you plugin and put where you sit then activate a test program and it calibrates itself. Loud and annoying but worth it once it finishes up, lol.

Fair enough, We tried a few different configurations before we found one we liked

I did using this site.
I only have an older DLP, but if your model is listed there it is the cheapest way.

I have used movies that I already own that include THX optimization tools on the disc. However, on some TV's, the picture is slightly different on the different available inputs, so you may need slightly different calibration numbers for your STB versus your DVD/BR player vs. your game system.
I never understood why the cable providers don't have HD-calibration available on demand, so you can accurately calibrate your TV using the signals the box is putting out.

Oh yes, especially with the newer LEDs, they crank up the brightness at the factory so out of the box they pop across the store and catch your eye, ala bestbuy. You can get a lot more depth and better picture/color with proper adjustments and in some case conserve energy and the bulbs at the same time.
Plus not fine tuning them from the factory allows a whole new industry of overpriced tv tuners for bestbuy and such.
