We all have different equipment and different methods of getting our productions to "look right". The best thing to use for viewing output is a production monitor, but it's worthless unless you calibrate it properly.

If you are new to post-production or just need a little refresher, I recommend you check out these 2 episodes.Color bars and calibration
