unless you use basICColor Display and the <enable cable> ;-)
At a college I work with we printed the monitor hardware settings on a
card, laminated it and attached it to each monitor as <settings needed
for serious imaging>. These guys buy their own inkjet paper so some are
quite keen to get a reasonable screen rendition ;-) . The lecturers
occasionally explained why it is important for calibration to remain
consitent if monitor profiles are to work. After all the students need
to know for the future.
Any student who is a keen to have accurate colour (yes, there were
some) would then open up the OSD and check the settings. It seems to
have made the tweakers realise thet tweaking is not productive too.

No particular recommendations (although I look forward to other's imput
ehre) but I've seen some projectors (ideally after calibration and
profiling with an eyeOne Beamer), which showed pretty subtle
adjustments. Or perhaps get a big LCD?
