Why does the same file viewed in Cinema Tools look so much better than when it's viewed in Quicktime?

Cinema Tools is not a video viewing program. It is a database for online/offline processes. The video there is just a preview.

Which makes the difference even more interesting.
Are you say that the image in Cinema Tools is less accurate? It seems more like what I see when I watch it on a TV than on a laptop monitor.

I think it's the same thing that I noticed with Quicktime v FCP. Final cut pro applies a different gamma setting to the image for viewing which is called "accurate' under the FCP>system setting>playback contol>gamma. The 'approximate' (looks like quick time) or "accurate" looks more like TV, the default setting. So I imagine Cinema Tools is applying the same viewing gamma.
