just recalibrated mine today, i used an EYE ONE Display LT calibration gadget, just plop it on the screen and it does it automatically, made a huge difference to the laptop.
as for the tighter stars, its hard to comment without seeing a copy of the stacked file prior to processing. to shrink the stars most people use some version of a minimum filter, and the color range selection tool. the carboni plug ins work mostly ok but they do apply the minimum filter across the whole image to some degree ( try several itterations and you will notice the effect,plus you really only want to apply to the larger stars)
