Further thought, I have to imagine that monitors, and even smartphones, are kinda pushed a bit beyond what you might actually use them in the same way TV sets have been. The claim is that they all try to out-do each other in the showroom, thus the manufacturers tweak it up some more to try and make it look better against others, ignoring that people start looking like they were swimming in fake tan. More recently, with the Google Pixel 2 XL I think, people complained the screen was too dull. Google had set it to "realistic" colours, not the more vivid processing that everyone else does. I think they put in an option to go between the two after that.
As a past hobby I did a lot of photography so I did get an Adobe RGB gamut monitor. When Windows get the colour management wrong, you knew about it! I did run a calibrator on that. Still got it, but it only runs on Win7 and I have to replace device if I want Win10 support.
