Video in Premiere slightly lossy?

I'm editing on Premiere 2, the program monitor video quality is set to highest quality and while it is excellent quality, I've noticed that the final exported file (that's the same format as the source footage) played in Windows Media Player just looks slightly, but noticeably better. It's obviously better to have the final video look better than the one that's being edited and not the other way around, but I'm just wondering if Premiere does slightly water down the video quality in order to be able to render things faster and in real time, or if there is no difference at all. All DV AVI played in Windows Media Player just looks a tad better than the same video played in Premiere....I'm on a dual monitor system, so video from both software is displayed in full screen on my second monitor.
 
all players (including media player) have playback presets, which will generally differ from the settings of the premiere player (which i find to be pretty reliable).
i find media player for some reason to be excessively saturated in colors. the real judge is just the TV output and a decent TV/monitor.
