Cynthia,

I suggest the Xrite Color Munki Display. About $170 US and it can be used with 
all your monitors and computer projectors as well. It also has a useful ability 
to control screen brightness when the light levels change, like in the camera 
room. It;s available from B&H Camera and other sites as well. If you e=want a 
full feature unit that can also do color densitometry then the i1 Photo Pro 
with Eye-One Spectrophotometer would be a good choice, but pricey at $1400 US. 
Xrite also has the Munsell 100 Hue test that you can take online to check your 
monitor and eyes.
