    Hi,

    A few years back I picked up a DVD called "Video Essentials" to do this on my 55" monitor. It basically steps you through the whole process - Set black (and the mysterious "blacker than black"), contrast, brightness, and colors etc. It'll also help you set up your audio system (You need a DB meter).

    It wasn't cheap (~$50 from memory), but does a great job if you're reasonably patient (contrast & brightness are very interactive for example.....)

    HTH,
    cheers,
    Ian
    PS - You may want to start with setting up the monitor itself - It has some very cool gun alignment tools etc - Before moving on to calibration.
