Dave: most of the disks contain a tutoral that takes you through the whole calibration step.

It's not hard. You can do it under about 90 seconds when you get familar with the steps.

The disks also contain video test-patterns that can help 'rough in' your video display.

A better use of your money (if you have a good sized or HDTV television) is to hire a ISF Certified Calibrationist to come to your house and spend 2-3 hours bringing your television to professional video image quality. These run $300-$500 but I have not heard of anybody who has had it done that has regreted it.

Search the "Display Devices" fourm for more information.
