I say:
That's why I said to check your scopes AFTER monitoring by eye.
Also, color monitors used for critical color decision-making should be
installed in a controlled environment in order to minimize these
judgement variations. If you have to worry about whether the white on
a specific monitor is really white, you don't have a reliable
reference monitoring environment.
The original question was more about contrast issues than colorimetry.
