I finally broke down and purchased an EYEOne Display to calibrate my monitor. The suggested monitor white point is either 5000 or 6500. Default for my monitor is 9300.

I have varying lighting conditions that I work under (some out of my control). Is there anything wrong with using a monitor white point of 9300 for calibration?

Most people use the white point that best matches the print viewing condition.
