Monitor Color Calibration - Who Does It?

Sitting down today to color calibrate my new Mac Displays and wondered how many of you creative people use color corrected monitors? I wouldn't color correct any pics or videos without making sure I had a color corrected monitor. Why you ask? Well, because monitors are known to drift. They change colors, contrast and gamma over time. Your monitor does not look the same as it did when you first bought it but since your eyes automatically adjust for the changes, you might never know this.

I color profile my monitors on the 1st of each month. That way, should my monitors drift in any way, I can easily bring them back to a known standard. This keeps my color, contrast and gamma consistent over time.

If you create pictures, video or graphics for web use, you should seriously consider using a color profiled monitor
