Color correction using a HDtv

I have a samsung 21 inch flat screen and a iMac intel computer. Currently I have it hooked it up using Mini DVI to VGA and the colors are way to saturated I tried everything to calibrate it and with no avail. I was wondering if the colors would come out truer to source if i used Mini DVI to DVI to Component.
 
Consumer HDTV's are not really meant for color correction- hence the inability to get good calibration.

Does your Samsung have a HDMI input? Then go DVI to HDMI. You may not be able to completely color correct properly, but you will eliminate any analog noise.

I've gotten very good "have not been surprised yet" results with an HD LCD TV using the huey.

I have a perfectly good LCD computer monitor but chose the HDTV because I figured it would be more like and handle color like a regular TV / be more like what the viewer will be watching on.

The calibration DVD above comes with the blue gel I mention in the other thread and a red and green one two for fine tuning ... I haven't used it yet with my computer but it's another option
