I've found it can be a slippery slope though in film grading because in the past i've got carried away and boosted contrast too much to get that extra punchiness. I've then played back the video on my tv and almost burned my eyes out the contrast was so strong

Yep that's the look I actually go for! It's just that no one else does :(

haha maybe you've just got the contrast on your tv a lot lower than everyone else so you can take more of a contrast boost before your eyes start burning? I certainly like having my contrast fairly high so the image looks nice when I watch normal tv.
