Disc to calibrate new Insignia 20" SDTV? (Component colors?)

Hi,

I recently bought an Insignia 20" TV with component video inputs (SDTV,
Tube--anybody know who makes the tube btw?)

I hooked up my PS2 via the Sony component video cables and the colors
look a touch off... how could I describe it--they seem a bit TOO
vibrant?...

I need to find a DVD to help me calibrate this TV, but it is NOT an
HDTV, so I was wondering if that narrows my choices... anyone have any
reccomendations...?

I remember reading somewhere, some time, that the sharpness should be
turned all the way down (no matter what)...

Thanks

Either Avia or Digital video essentials. Avia is more expensive and has
quite a bit more options to calibrate a tv, as well as mini-tutorials.
However, since you don't have a high-end HDTV, I'm sure that DVE will be
good enough. I have a 46" rp crt. I purchased Avia and it really has TOO
many options to calibrate a tv. Wasn't worth the money. From what I've
heard, DVE will be more than enough.
