oh best buy loves to push their tuning service...
I think you can pretty much look this stuff up on the internet and do it yourself though. Different people prefer different settings so there's no such thing as one universal setting that will look good for everyone. But when I bought my TV I looked up recommended setting on the internet and just went into the menu and changed them myself.

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.
Hehe, I love the test mic thing. So much better than my old one where I had to measure and key in the distances to each speaker.
I have a Laserdisc version of the video calibration thing. Not a DVD, the old LP sized laserdisc. Sadly my LD player popped something inside and I never bothered fixing it.

I looked mine up and there are no tweaks available.
Probably because it was cheap and it sucks

Quite a few of the newer TV's can do BTB (Blacker than Black) and the test discs are set up to allow you to calibrate for that. The best way to do it is use the disc in the player you will be using to watch movies.

Neat Calibration site, but they don't have my TV on their lists, of TV's that have been professionally calibrated. Even though it's a couple of years old

I did using this site.
I only have an older DLP, but if your model is listed there it is the cheapest way.
Damn -- looked up my TV, a 47" Philips that is 3 years old, and nothing.
