I know that in my little bit of research, I found AVEA to be highly recommended.
Perhaps we can get some more experienced people to chime in?

Also, would this type of software also pertain to DLP tvs?

Digital Video Essentials, Avia, or the one I use the most - GetGray. That last one's nice 'cause you can just Paypal 'em the money, then download a DVD image that you can burn yourself. It also has the best patterns for digital displays, in my opinion.

How do you use these disc??? Is it as easy as putting the disc in the player and listen for instructions??

Avia is the most user friendly, as it basically walks you through the steps and what controls to adjust for each pattern, plus it has the most test patterns for hardcore tweakers. DVE is a little less user friendly, but has all the basic patterns you'll need. GetGray has the best/most useful patterns, but absolutely no instructions on the disc. However, the GetGray site has a well-written explanation of how to use the test patterns on the disc.

With the Getgray....you have to download the calibration? Is that right

You download a burnable DVD image file. Hit the link that I posted for it in my first post and you can read all about it.
