Island - you always calibrate your screen (whatever kind) to print spec output - so, for example, sheetfed has a different color calibration than heat set web... And projected light can never exactly reproduce reflective light, you do the best you can. So, I calibrate the screen for media delivery-and go with the best resolution, for me, the iPad (running datacolor's spyder4) does the best job.

Again - tools for the job vary. Product design is a lot different than graphic design, and both have tools that work better for their specific needs.

And if my clients are reviewing on their own computers - well then all bets are off - who knows what sort of awful colors they are getting on their screens. Some people don't realize that all the skin tones they see on their computers, when compared to color corrected skin tones, look like green skinned aliens.
