How would you calibrate a screen on a budget?

Are there simple, affordable devices, methods, or printed kits that help achieve at least some degree of colour correctness on a modern TFT monitor?

Assume that there is no colour profile from the monitor's vendor to work with. If the operating system is relevant, mine is Windows; But Mac and Linux hints would be very welcome, too.

OK, I admit that it's a late, late, late reply, but there's nothing really tricky about calibrating/profiling devices on Linux. All you need is a recent version of Ubuntu or Fedora. It usually already has GNOME Color Manager. So you just plug your colorimeter in, press a button, and it does everything for you.

Get a used Spyder, see Amazon to get one for . Or if your budget is a bit higher, get one for that'll be a bit better. Most of these solutions will work for a Mac, Linux is a bit trickier...
