What are settings that I can adjust to get the best picture on my Samsung 52" LN-T5261F 1080P LCD HDTV?

When I walk into Costco I see that a 37" VIZIO 1080P looks sharper and clearer than my 52" Samsung with a BLU Ray?? Is this because my TV was not professionally calibrated after it was installed at my home? Any suggestions? I dont want to pay $400 bucks to have it done.

Sometimes "sharper and clearer" isn't anything more than just turning up the brightness. However, if you have ever seen a professionally calibrated TV the first thing you notice about it is that it's not bright at all. Our eyes deceive us. That's why manufacturers ship their TVs with "torch mode" as the default setting.

I have the Digital Video Essentials: HD Basics disc. It guides you through video (and to a lesser extent audio) calibration. I have the disc but I haven't used it yet. I've seen testimonies from people who say it gave them a whole new TV. There's also a DVD called Avia, although I have no experience with it, so I can't really comment on its effectiveness.
