but guess what.. REST OF THE WORLD.. they don't even know about brightness and contrast.. let alone gamma..
Again I reiterate.. If you do NOT do print work.. you do not need ACCURATE colors..
If you want to do work for low-bandwidth video, the web, mobile devices, computer games, etc., then you should aim for a display that has a gamut that
at least covers all of sRGB with at least 8 bits/channel, and has other desirable properties like consistent color corner-to-corner and a display characterization that stays good for a long time before you need to re-characterize.
Most top-quality recent mobile devices are getting to be pretty close to sRGB (e.g. iPhones, 10" iPads, lots of Android phones and tablets). The official spec for televisions is the same primaries as sRGB. The official spec for the web is sRGB, and browsers that properly handle that spec are going to be interpreting CSS/HTML colors as sRGB.
Anyone who has a device that (a) doesn’t do proper color management, and (b) is far from sRGB is going to be getting a ****ty experience pretty much no matter what you do, so it’s not worth worrying about those people.
If you are doing video work for cinema, if you are doing professional photography, print design, designing color for industrial purposes, etc., then you probably have more sophisticated needs. Often a larger color gamut and more bits/pixel are very helpful features, especially when working on intermediate editing steps before your final rendering.
Good calibration doesn’t help much at all if your display black isn’t dark enough (e.g. the display reflects too much ambient light), if your color is inconsistent from one part of the display to another, if the color drifts from day to day, if the color changes depending on viewing angle, if you don’t have enough bits/color channel to show fine color distinctions, if your primaries are too far off from standard so that colors you care about are out of gamut, etc. etc.

Mvp will rape you in SC2 using a single core cpu doing 15fps.
A good graphics designer can use any god damn monitor, and produce good work..
So what? Usain Bolt probably runs faster than you when he’s wearing high heels, and I’m sure Federer would beat you at tennis using a dinner plate for a racket. That doesn’t mean you should try to do the same.
For what it’s worth, I’m almost certainly better than you at doing color correction in Photoshop when I’m using a display that only handles grayscale and you can use an Eizo. That doesn’t mean the display is completely irrelevant.
