Sounds like I have to judge by individual taste either way. Sounds

Personal taste doesn't factor into this at all; the hardware (and its
associated software) will calibrate your monitor and build a profile based
on its own measurements. Your involvement will simply be to set the
brightness, contrast and RGB settings as the software instructs you to (not
to your preference, or to your visual comparison to a proof) and that's only
if it cannot do that automatically by itself.
This is the only way to properly calibrate a monitor; if you attempt to do
it by eye you are simply allowing the flaws and biases in your vision (and
we all have them) and your viewing environment to influence the outcome.
