Should I wait for my production monitor to arrive?

Here's my quandary, I've been shooting some test footage for an upcoming short just to test some lighting setups, camera settings and potential color correction/post settings. I captured the images on my XL2 and they look gorgeous. I bring the footage into Final Cut Pro HD and the look even more gorgeous. I burn a DVD and play it on my Television and they look like crap. I'm very frustrated right now, which is why I ordered this monitor, although I'm having second thoughts about buying a used one. Any suggestions?
