Have you calibrated your monitor?

Monaco Optix XR

Finally got my EyeOne Display 2, so now I can vote in my own poll! Boy, the color temperature of my monitor was way off before calibration. Things look much better now.

Any complaints on the Spider 2 Pro? Do you need to buy more then the packeage to fully utilize the Cal tool? Looking to buy one soon.

We need to convert all the naysayers that voted 'no' in the poll. What a difference a calibrated montior makes.

Spyder 2 Plus

Calibrated my 20 inch Apple Cinema Display with Spyder 2 , on a Dell Machine

My shoulders are sagging. I'm getting pretty good with the camera, taking positive baby steps with PE3, then comes the whole color managment issue. I started looking in to Costco online photo thing, but now it appears that the nice LCD monitor I just had to have last year is not suitable for calibrating----or is it?

My images look pretty good to me, and display that way on my other computers (which are also LCD, however). I do have a couple of old CRT's, but I don't think my comp will support two monitors.

How important is it to go to a CRT display, and is the LCD a waste of time?
I don't really want to print at home, but would sure like to get the nicer images printed elsewhere.
