Congratulations on your new HDTV!

First of all... if you want to get a setup DVD for your HDTV, it needs to be in HD... so you need a Blu-Ray player anyway. There are a bunch of great mid-range blu-ray players out there, and they are really worth it, particularly if you're going to watch movies. Currently, that's the only way you're going to get a 1080P signal into your TV anyway, as you're unlikely to see anything better than 1080i or 720P from cable or satellite.

Once you get your blu-ray player, the best calibration disc is "video essentials". Obviously, you'll want the blu-ray version.

BTW, I just ordered our 1080P projector. While the den/media room won't be ready for a couple of months, we're planning to debut the projector in the living room on the 4th of July.
