seting display temperature

I would like to set my monitor color temperature.  On the CRT display you can set the color temperature.  Typically the the default is 9300K, but photo editing it is recommended to use 6500K.  The flat pannel Monitor has preset mods called standard multimeda came warm cool and custom.  Does any one understand these modes?  Can some one explan them?

The color temperature of a light source is the temperature of an ideal black-body radiator that radiates light of comparable hue to that of the light source. Color temperature is a characteristic of visible light. In practice, color temperature is only meaningful for light sources that do in fact correspond somewhat closely to the radiation of some black body, i.e., those on a line from reddish/orange via yellow and more or less white to blueish white; it does not make sense to speak of the color temperature of, e.g., a green or a purple light. Color temperature is conventionally stated in the unit of absolute temperature, the Kelvin, having the unit symbol K.


Color temperatures over 5,000K are called cool colors (bluish white), while lower color temperatures (2,700–3,000 K) are called warm colors (yellowish white through red). This relation, however, is a psychological one in contrast to the physical relation implied by Wien's displacement law, according to which the spectral peak is shifted towards shorter wavelengths (resulting in a more blueish white) for higher temperatures.   You cannot adjust the Red Green and Blue electron Guns of an LCD monitor where the backlight is white.
