SImple question:
I'm looking for a, not too expensive, Monitor calibrator; Which one should get and why?

What about color tint? I am colorblind so trying to adjust the X-rite Color checker tells me nothing if I don't have a properly calibrated monitor, and it's no way I can adjust from my eye-sight.
I looked at the X-rite ColorMunki Display, it seems to to fairly okay. I'm not shooting with multiple cameras and need 4000 images from 12 different cameras with 30 lenses to match 110%, I just want more accurate color in difficult lightning situations and a screen that gives me basically the right exposure and tint (or no tint rather) no matter if I edit my pictures during the day or at night.
Do you guys make one profile for daytime and one for evening, or do you edit in a constant lit room?

neuroanatomist said:I think so - I've got a ColorChecker Passport as well, and there's definitely a desaturation of the red channel at increasing ISO (pink becomes lavender, orange becomes yellow), and to a lesser extent, the green channel desaturates as well.
