>when I’m selecting a video monitor at home or on set the only criteria are accuracy, dynamic range and colour gamut

Is this really true? When I'm selecting a tv or monitor, I need to consider what size the space it's going in will support, and whether it's a primarily bright environment (brightness needs to go high on the monitor) or primarily dark environment (blacks need to be particularly black on the monitor). The tv I have has a bunch of different preset modes I can put it in- cinematic, gaming, soap opera, etc and enthusiasts are carefully considering this stuff before buying whichever video device they go with. It's the same here with audio devices, except the environment is literally your head.
