Hint #1: Don't calibrate this stuff on your laptap. The differences between monitors and TVs is bad enough, much less an LCD screen. This is why I bought a $40 DVD that could play rewriteable media, so that I could test my visuals on an actual TV screen.

That's my point. I can't judge this stuff at all on my laptop. I want to see it on my (calibrated) home theater before I judge anything...
Is your setup calibrated with Video Essentials? That name is no joke, it is essential. Never trust your eye to what "looks good", you need use the reference materials to get that stuff right. If your stuff isn't captured as close to "correct" as possible, it makes it unlikely (impossible?) that it can ever look right on someone's setup.
