I do not have the color-monitor hardware and the like but always calibrate my displays.

I have a light for a fish tank that lets me change the color but not with any precision... just a dozen or so pre-set options (some of them rotating through colors). -- Personal attacks from those who troll show their own insecurity. They cannot use reason to show the message to be wrong so they try to feel somehow superior by attacking the messenger. They cling to their attacks and ignore the message time and time again. <https://youtu.be/H4NW-Cqh308>
