I agree that a calibrated monitor is worth the trouble of setting up right but for the most part I am a "numbers" man which means I will take a measurement of the actual colour and determine what it will output like - mainly for skin tones, neutral greys etc. I used to do all colour correction visually when the old crt monitors where the rage but have found the lcds and the like very "bright" which makes it hard to balance tone. I used to have a boss that - I would do strip proofs of the images and he would look at them and go through one after the other and say this one needs 5mag out of mid tones, this one needs 10 cyan out of greens etc and he was spot on every time so a good knowledge of colour is important. However the industry here in Australia has preference over "how quick can we get it" rather than quality and colour. If the images look "pretty good" that is all they want.
