My guess is still monitor calibration. A calibration device, like I mentioned, creates a profile for the monitor. Blues, greens and especially purple are where you’ll see a difference. If color is important to you then purchase a calibrator, color will be dead on. I prefer the XRite Eye One Display2.
If it’s only a moderate concern you can calibrate by eye. Mpix.com has an inexpensive photo and cd that can be used to adjust monitor color by eye. You can also use a something like an XRite ColorChecker Classic or a good colorful photo and adjust saturation and hue manually.

It’s worth the try. I’ve had some plug-ins that I had to quit using because of the same problem.

Have you installed any third party plug-ins?

I called, they sent it to me, thank you

Are you sure the color on your monitor is correct? Monitors can be calibrated for color using a device like an XRite Eye One Display2 or a Colordata Spyder3.
Is the TV set to standard color? Is it in sports mode or some other setting? It’s also possible to calibrate the TV.Colors on monitors, printers DSLR cameras and other devices can be set to an international standard called an ICC Profile. ICC is the International Color Consortium.

Just to help others here’s how I did it. I didn’t start with Boot Camp. Boot Camp is a utility to partition a Drive. Since I was using an entire HD for Windows I didn’t use the Boot Camp Utility.
I put the Win7 cd in the computer and shut it down. I pulled out all the HDs except the one I wanted Winodws on then booted the computer while holding the Option key, then selected the Win7 cd. Windows started but Winows would not install until I formatted the HD then it was a normal install.
One thing about it is everytime the computer restarts during the install you have to be ready to hold the Option key and boot to Winodws, not the Win7 cd. After Win7 installs put your Snow Leopard cd in and it will update the Drivers and put a BootCamp folder on the computer. Update Boot Camp from the Start Menu. Try update a second time to make sure it’s done.
Now you’re ready to install Vegas. -
I guess it does sound like bragging. I’m just so excited to finaly see this work. I made the mistake of installing the 32bit version of Win7 first and that didn’t work well.

You probably already know this but you should set your exposure before you do a custom WB. Use your histogram to set the exposure. Histograms can be difficult to interpret so that’s why I like using a WB Target like this. Look HERE. https://farm6.static.flickr.com/5047/5339895801_6756618578_z.jpg
When you shoot the target your histogram should have three distinct spikes and look like this https://farm6.static.flickr.com/5208/5339895739_ab18f26ef6_z.jpg
The can then be used to set WB. All three areas can be used. After that any apply any profile you like but getting it right in-camera will save time in post.

I wonder if a WB target like this my help when shooting from a distance.
34″ Photovision Target it folds to about a 12″ circle.

Does your camera have a histogram?
