Well, no matter what you view your footage on in your bay...computer monitor, external broadcast monitor, it will never look like that again. Because it is compressed for when it goes to air, so that will take a gamma hit. And depending on the TV you are using to watch it...it will look different.

But what I don't get is...you are using your COMPUTER DISPLAY to color correct to? Sure, I get using FCX for this. It's a consumer app and meant to ensure that what you see on the computer display will be what you see when you compress for the web. The same look. But using it to judge BROADCAST colors?

And are you telling me you used FCP 7 and your computer display to judge color for on air spots? No wonder they didn't look the same. Totally different color space.
