replace laminate with engineered hardwood?
I put cheap laminate in my living room last year and I hate it! I can see the joints, and it didn't seem to go down as well as the Dupont I put in the rest of my house several years ago. Does engineered hardwood look any better? How hard is it to put down, and how do you put it down. I want to put the house up for sale, but I don't even want to show it with the state of the current laminate in the living room. Any thoughts/opinions are welcome.

You will be so much better pleased with engineered, you will be tempted to tear it all out and put engineered in it all. Heck, you may not even sell.
A good 1/2 to 5/8" click lock engineered floor lays down easier than laminate, with half the hassle of tapping end joints, as I am sure you experienced. It will add resale value to the house because engineered flooring can be refinished several times, but comes with a 50 year finish warranty, so it is a good viable product.
