I have had my projector ISF calibrated (by a calibrator guy), but when I had a CRT before, I used <a href="http://www.videoessentials.com/" rel="nofollow">Video Essentials</a> and that worked out really well. Indeed, it appears that Netflix does have <a href="http://www.netflix.com/Movie/Digital_Video_Essentials_HD_Basics/70091299" rel="nofollow">Digital Video Essentials: HD Basics</a> (the modern HD-equivalent of Video Essentials, the SD-calibration tool I used at the time). As a word of caution, though, I believe that the <a href="http://www.jkpi.net/DVE_HDBasics.php" rel="nofollow">retail-box version of Digital Video Esssentials: HD Basics</a> includes a “Tri-Color reference Filter” that one places over one’s screen during portions of the color-based parts of the calibration sequence. (That way, you can test your screen’s colors against known reference colors.) With Netflix, though, my guess is that the filter may not be included in the typical rental—you may get even more out of the calibration if you’re able to buy the disc. Hi Colin!

My parents just got a 40" LCD and a Blu-Ray player. I'm trying to find recommendations on Blu-Ray discs they could use for calibrating their TV. If said disc were available on Netflix, that would be a bonus. Have you calibrated your TV? My parents just got a 40″ LCD and a Blu-Ray player.
