If you want accurate color, you'll have to be willing to do what it takes to
get it.
I think you need to view reasonable color tools as PART of a monitor's
cost...ANY monitor's cost.
**But here's the good news: Once you've got a decent colorometer, any and
ALL future monitors will run at their best. As it stands now, NONE of your
monitors will do this for you.
