I've been editing 16:9 SD video of a fireworks show. Treating with Neatvideo, upconverting to 720p. Looks pretty decent on my 21" 1080 computer monitor, but playing back a Blu-Ray disc of the same video on my 32" 720 HDTV tv, it looks off. Where the issue is really noticeable is the sky - on the HDTV clouds in the night sky take on an exaggerated, grainy contrast that isn't apparent on the computer monitor. Everything on the TV is set at center.
Commercial Blu-Ray disks look fine on this same TV, as do tv broadcasts.
Any insights as to why this might be?
Thanks.

Upconverting sd to hd sounds like your problem.Not enough details so parts of the pics get crapped out.Smaller screens hide the problem.

It's an Acer H213H. It has various settings to tweak the image both within the monitor and the video card software. I've never taken any steps to calibrate it per se.
I don't have any particular complaints about commercially made video viewed on either. For some reason this particular video looks different on them. -

The obvious question is why upsize at all? If your footage is SD 16:9, just denoise it as you seem to believe it needs done and then let the player upscale it during playback, you will get better results.

It seems like there's something fundamentally different about the way the tv and the monitor handle the image.

Comparisons mean nothing unless you calibrate the TV and the monitor to the same standard.

Yep indeed, get yourself a calibrator (Spyder4, i1) first, as you can't judge your colours without a reliable view on your display.
