A lot of people have their brightness, contrast and sharpness set way to high on their televisions, and aren't seeing movies the way the director intended.

The easiest way to calibrate a TV these days is with the THX app for iOS or Android. You will need a cable to connect your device to the TV (or an apple TV if you have one) and the software is only a couple of bucks.

If you don't have a device, then the Disney WOW: World of Wonder Blu-ray disc has a fantastic calibration set on it, or if you want to be a little more hardcore, the Spears and Munsil disc set.
