How do you calibrate your colours on a new monitor?

Calibration tool ideally but if you don't own one I normally go buy the settings for the monitor on tftcentral and downloand their calibrated profile.
Okay it won;t be exact as every monitor even of the same model will be slightly different but it will be close enough.
I then might tweak it slightly on the contrast and brightness settings.

Agree with Greebo. I checked out my monitor review, followed the instructions for the hardware calibration and then downloaded the profile and as it looks perfect, left it be.

How do you calibrate Sharpness?
Are these calibration tools easy to use and affordable?

I use a X-Rite i1Display 2 (now EOL) which was probably around £100, maybe a bit less.
It's simple enough to use, and it finally allowed me to get my three monitors to match. Having a colour shift when a window was straddling two monitors was really annoying.
For a single monitor I was happy setting it up by eye.
