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.
