Screen Configuration Disc

[Damage Inc.]

Hi,

I just thought I'd ask here if you'd know what a good or even "the ultimate" configuration-disc would be.
And what I mean by that is one of those discs that gives you instructions
and images to set the video-settings correctly.
I'm wondering a couple of thing about it though.

For example, does it matter if the test-disc is DVD-quality?
Of course this wouldn't help in setting the sharpness and such on an HD-device.
Unless you'd watch a lot of DVDs...
But I'm also wondering if the older test-DVDs would be correct in colors and such things.

Of course I could perhaps use one of those THX-setups from a DVD.
But maybe those are outdated, I don't know... unless the DVDs are just great enough.
I also did try using it and it didn't help much.
For example, at some point you get the typical instruction to set the contrast-setting as high as possible,
but set it until you can still see different white shades.
But I could put it to its highest and still see the difference,
because of the great contrast in the specific screen I need it for.
Only all it did was make the screen and colors ridiculously bright.
It basically didn't help and I wouldn't know how much to set it back either.
So a more elaborate setup-disc would be nice.

Are there any typical well-known discs I should be looking at?
