Is there a place on the net I can go download some calibration stuff for HDTVs? I don't want to spend any money because I'm fucking cheap - hence the cheap TV.
-
Go get The Incredibles DVD, it has a calibration tool
Otherwise try and look for AVIA Home Theater setup thingymabober

Hey, I own the Incredibles already! I never bothered to look for that stuff before. Thanks!
-
Yeah I got the Avia disc through torrents. It's really easy to use and it helped me set my brightness correctly. Definitely try and find it, it's 4 gigs though, full DVD size.

What exactly do these calibration thingamajingies do?
And how do you know that you're using it correctly?
-
It accurately sets all your sharpness/contrast/color/brightness settings. It's pretty much idiot-proof. However, you need a blue filter to do the color part of the test, which I haven't done yet.
Also, you have to do it for each hdmi port you plan to use, and each component connection. Settings on your tv don't carry over and though they will likely be very similar, they may not be exactly the same across all connections.

your only way is: "buying" Digital Video Essentials disc.
