For exactly the reason you mention, for web work, I always try to test on a fairly new low to mid-priced monitor. Over time, those factory specs shift. I can get an idea of beginning specs on what my users browse with, but not how old their monitor is or whether they have calibrated it since purchase.

For print, I find calibration is more crucial.

I had someone I worked with who would periodically use a Spyder on all my systems, but they moved away, and I found myself a little boggled by the choices of different Spyders and other brands.
