Ideally, you need an instrument tuned to the spectrum of the particular
brand of LCD monitor you use. But those custom-calibrated instruments
typically colorimeters, like LaCIE used to sell (do they still do?), as well
as SONY with the Artisan, and I believe NEC with their SpectraViews, are
hard to come by these days. So you have to rely on "off-the-shelf"
instruments which may or may not give you complete satisfaction.
Those spectral mismatch problems have never been as big of an issue with
CRTs.
Incidently, how do you tell the colors you see on a monitor, any monitor for
that matter, are the colors that the instrument expects are being displayed?
If the instrument reports a measure white point as CIE xyY = 0.3457, 0.3585
and 95, how does one go about qualifying the resulting color visually? With
some instruments, those coordinates appear reddish while with some other
they appear yellowish or greenish or bluish.
