It's possible. It's a calibration service that dives into the "technician only, secret" service menu on the set and adjusts brightness and color settings to bring out the best picture given the viewing enviroment. Dimming a light bulb saves energy and decreases heat, while extending life. Same princple with a marketing tweak.
If you want uber calibration, you'll need to find an ISF certified technician.
You can also pickup a Digital Video Essentials disk to adjust the TV yourself and get better results than Geek Squad.

I've done a lot of looking and reading, and I'm considering a 42" LG 1080p. It has the best picture compared to others I've looked at side by side, and for the price has one of the better feature sets.
I'm not sure what BB charges for this service, but you can do it your self with a calibration kit:

That way you learn what needs to be done and can redo it periodically for no additional cost. As the screen ages, it will not be as bright and will need to be recalibrated, at least with LCDs. Very simlilar to regularly calibrating a computer monitor.
