With the same adjustments available though with your eyes taking the place of the puck it does allow for a rather educated guess though. It may depend on how much training your eyes have had in color work. With 40 years of press proofing in 5,000K light tents and on 5,000K light boxes; I feel fairly confident in my eyes; though age may remove that confidence of youth. I've had three professional monitors complete with their system pucks and software. I found them only slightly better than a visual calibration. It was very difficult to get them adjusted for room conditions. They were very sensitive to extraneous light. These were tube monitors so things may have improved in the flat screen calibration systems.
