Any question answered...

Thanks for tips it just doesn't seem able to replicate the colours of the laptop screen. Do tvs not have the same dynamic range of monitors?

laptops are usually 6 bit panels with a limited colour gamut that dither to get an approximation of 8bits of colour, it's because of this limited gamut that you calibrate to a native colourspace (not d65) so you get a bigger range of colours and more dynamic range at the expense of accuracy.

at the end of the day you shouldn't be using a laptop or tv for colour critical work.
you could borrow a puck from somebody and do your laptop screen and LCD*, you will not get them looking the same.
you need better monitors (like an eizo CG) and hardware calibration for that.

• dunno if you can calibrate a 'tv' if that's what your lcd is and not a monitor.
