      I prefer to set colour based on what I like....Every eye is different. Colour accuracy is more for print professional's (etc) that need to output and accurate colour product.

    As a photographer, I am calibrating my monitors with calorimeters for years. You do not need opensource for that. Entry level ones are very cheap nowadays. Last gen also has ambient light sensors in it and switches to different modes. Calibrating once is not enough. If the amount of environmental light changes(day/night or sunset etc), a new calibration is needed. (Unless you are working in a no-natural light source ( windowless) room) Ones with an external sensor built in tries to compensate that for a degree by switching modes due to the detected light. (Note: a calibrated display is less appealing to a home user. Home users often are after vibrant colors, higher contrast, higher brightness and exaggerated whites)

    Not to mention, you're an audiophile and watch snob, both things I consider positive that I can relate to. Wish I had the money for it though :')
