1. The best resource for finding a professional is at Imaging Science Foundation. http://www.imagingscience.com/isf-trained.cfm2. You can do a decent calibration yourself (but not what the ISF does) using Digital Video Essentials, AVIA or the new Monster Calibration Wizard.

You can do better than 2 (but still not as good as 1) with one of the Spyder2 colorimeters. The basic SpyderTV and the more advanced SpyderTVPro have both software and hardware for calibration. Also, you can use any of these (or the Spyder2 products) with the Calman (no relation) software. http://www.colorvision.com/products.shtml
BTW, I have a Spyder2Pro for sale if you want to go that route.
Follow Ups:
They're great for optimizing your movie viewing, but any benefit for other sources, like an HDTV box, is coincidental because the source signals for different inputs are rarely similar.Also, most movie DVDs with "THX" audio will have the THX video calibration tools on the bonus menu, and its just about as good as DVE/Avia, but you need to get the THX color filters.
