As I retire my worn 19" Viewsonic monitor and want to move up my Lightroom post-processing to--perhaps--a 22" - 24" IPS monitor, I've found some recommended 24 inchers that are described in their summary specs as "self-calibrating" or "pre-calibrated." I've been calibrating with a Spyder 3 for at least a couple of years and I continue to be pretty satisfied with the process and the results. I've read recently on a recent non-Nikonians blog that one should never buy a self-calibrating or pre-calibrated monitor, but the blogger did not state the reason. Would a self-calibrating or pre-calibrated monitor preclude me from performing my routine calibrations?
