You're looking for calibration dvd's or sets. Some are just DVD's or in a high definition format disc, and you follow the instructions on your screen and do the settings by eyeballing. Or you can spend a little more and buy a set that includes the dvd and also a calibrator that you attach to the screen, and it'll calibrate perfectly for you.

I had a similar question - are there any of these available as free files on the internet that can be burned to disc and played on the TV to help with settings calibration? Like free-to-use stuff (of course I wouldn't be talking about piracy or anything...). It sounds like something that would really help to get the best picture - something always seems to be off, whether it's the color or brightness or whatever.

I can't remember any specific free calibration images, but I know there are some out there. There are some links about calibration in one of the stickied threads. The AVS forums also has a pretty decent forum on calibration, and I'm pretty sure I've seen free images there.
