What are your favorite monitor calibration tools?
Do you use any special hardware or software or do you just go to one of those sites with a black/gray/white spectrum on the page and fiddle with your knobs and switches?

I'm just using an Xrite ColorMunki Display (Lite)
It's a good machine but it lacks ambient light sensors and profile selection between day/night uses. it also doesnt do white-ballance so when possible, one of our main producers uses a white-balance card and I just let Lightroom do the magic. Another main producer already corrects his finished work, which is nice, but its still smart to keep my monitors calibrated so when I output, they stay as accurate as possible.
If you get one, get one of the higher-end Xrites so it does All the calibrations.
Edit: Before getting the tool, I was using those web-based sliders, too, the difference once using an xrite was night and day.. those tools are kinda useless considering your monitor needs to be already tuned for the full effect
