I know there is a lot of stuff online about this, but I thought I'd get a few opinions.

After spending time in post processing, I get my pictures finished and ready to go, and if I am showing them to people on my laptop, they look just how I want them. However, when I print them off, they are too dark and dont look right, and when I make a slideshow or something and show it on my TV, the are too bright and over saturated.

What is the best way to fix my problems? I think the TV is just the settings on the TV and I am not sure I will ever get it right there, but what is a good, inexpensive way to calibrate my monitor so my prints turn out right?

Pretty good question. I don't have the answer, but am curious to see what the pros have to say about this one.

I have a buddy who has had this same issue processing images on this lap top. They look great until they are moved to a new machine then the colors and contrast are always a bit off.

I always just figured it was the crappy LCD / video card.
