What is the best way to color grade HDV footage if you don't have an HDTV monitor or TV?

tough question,
The first thing I think about is balancing all the footage in the cut. Make it work together first. Then burn dvd's of the edit along the way and look at it on more than one tv.
Do tests (on stills or similar sequences) where you keyframe color and brightness changes, keep track and makes notes of the settings that you like. In film we call this wedging, Sending out wedges.
Good luck, it's always a crapshoot doing it like this. I did it on this video. LOFL
