Try sorting your collection by name and start scrolling. You can do this in your desktop and iOS versions as well as in your on-line collection.
In your desktop version this won't list titles hidden in box sets together with single-title releases (if you have nested box sets set), but in your iOS and on-line collections it will.

ProfilerQuery can help you find duplicates. Using Tools -> Duplicate Check from the menu will select profiles where the title and production year are exactly the same. It won't help you with similar titles, though.

Note that the Duplicate Check works on the current result set, so you need to do a run with no selection criteria so you get all profiles in your result (unless, of course, you want to do the check on a subset of your profiles).

You might want to play a bit with the program first so you understand how it works.
