Just get a calibration dvd, tv's now days have so may things in the set-up menu you don't need to hire someone. Unless you have a front projector, those can be very hard to calibrate.
P.S.
'The AVIA Guide to Home Theater' is one of the best calibration dvd's you can get

Wrong wrong wrong. The benefits of a calibrationist that actually knows what the hell they're doing is worth gold. You can't fix red push by getting into a user menu. You need a color decoder calibration. You can't adjust baseline CRT voltage with a user menu. You don't adjust grayscale with a user menu. Go to
www.cir-engineering.com, look under the CRT section, and you'll see the wealth of adjustments that go into a serious calibration. The bonus with Craig is, that once you get the initial cal, a follow-up visit, if even necessary, is almost nothing. I've moved after a cal before, took my time with it and didn't race to my new house. For the most part it was fine. Just my $.02.
