I'm a tweaker myself. I'd recommend picking up a decent video calibration DVD like the AVIA home theater disc and following the sequence they lay out. There is a "better" way of sequencing adjustments so that you end up with a decent result.
Based on the fact that you probably have multiple video sources, I typically leave the sources on the most "default" settings possible and tweak the monitor--most monitors, for example, have significant red push. If you fix that by calibrating your DVD player, you'll still have the red pushed when watching DSS.
If you have a really high end video system, getting a certified calibrator may well be worth it. There are a range of settings for most monitors that consumers don't routinely have access too--mainly because you can damage your set if you don't know what you are doing. If you are careful, do so research on www.avsforum.com and poke around on the web--you can find loads of set-specific information, including how to get access to nonstandard controls.
