“If no 2 TV’s show the same color, then why use an expensive color monitor”
Your question made it clear you have much to learn on this topic. You say you
only make videos for yourself, family and facebook, then you have no need
for a calibrated monitor, you can stick with your HDTV.
A broadcast/calibrated Monitor is the right path to take if one is
serious about accurate color correction etc. That’s it plain and simple,
no shortcuts, no TV’s, no alternative can equate!
