I don't have a nice enough monitor to worry about. It was hard to do because of the back lighting and the curve. I would have liked to use a piece of 35mm film, soft and translucent. I don't really need it to be so accurate, but mine was really really off. My squares look square now. I thought it was an illusion from the window decoration, but it wasn't. But I believe the concern was of monitor surfaces. I like to hear of international standards, also.
