Image borrowed from the internet I am always surprised when I talk to some photographers and find out that they do not color calibrate their computer monitors.
Without color calibration, it is impossible to know if the colors you see on your computer screen will match the colors of the prints that are made by the photofinishers. When working with Adobe Lightroom or Adobe Photoshop, photographers make decisions about exposures and color balance and adjust the images so that the final print will look correct. But if the monitor isn't calibrated, it is possible that the colors seen on the screen will be totally different that what is printed.
It is a simple matter to color correct a monitor. Several companies make calibrators and one as simple as the Spyder Pro 3 can do the job easily. It is not expensive (well some calibrators are) but it is important and well worth it. So always calibrate your monitors if you want to be sure that you are making the right choice when checking your colors!
