the "calibration disc" can be had by asking in the Plasma thread in AVS forum. it's a "burn-in" disc. i don't remember the name, but if you ask they'll tell you where to get it. you just dl it and burn it to CD or DVD.

a plasma tv is more sensitive to image retention and/or burn-in when it's new. lots of people recommend running this DVD for around 200 hours at night or when no one is watching tv.
manufacturers are neutral about it.

Edit: just found the address for the burn-in disc in AVS:
