You can spend a lot of money for this. I have not tried it but have read that most THX-certified movie DVDs come with a free THX Optimizer component that can be used to calibrate a TV. Most people have at least one of these DVDs in their collection.

I went down the route of buying an i1 sensor for around £100 and then uaing this with the free HCFR Colorimeter software. You still need to get your head around the reference values and how to best tweak your TV.
I also downloaded some free hi-def test patterns to use in conjunction with the above. Bear in mind aswell that doing this properly can take a good few hours as changing one setting usually affects anotehr so it's a constant process of refinement until you get the compromise as close to standard as you can.

You can try the free AVS HD disk if you can play an HD signal:

It's also got the most simple contrast calibration pattern I've seen
(I also own the Digital Video Essentials DVD)
