The color temperture of the older (1980’s vintage) Sony monitors was much warmer than the ones they offer today but I do think some offer a switch to select between color temp.

BTW: I measured mine using a color meter while displaying a white raster.

I have a telecine room and in there is a 6500 degree Ikegami monitor used for color correction. That room is lit by 6500 degree florescent lamps so the ambient room lighting is equal to that of the monitor. Therefore, there is no need for the eye to have to make adjustments if looking away from the screen at camera reports, system controls, etc.

It is a 6500 degree room.

That said, if the ambient room lighting on location is 3200 degrees (professional tungsten lighting in play now) it would seem incorrect to use a monitor displaying at 6500 degrees. The subject will look much cooler on the screen than sitting there in person.
