My notebook monitor calibration is so poor that I would never try to use it for color accurate work. Also the angle of the screen affects the contrast and color a lot. My friend's notebook is far better, and three times as expensive.
My Dell system color calibration when using Dell's ICM for that monitor is excellent.
My old HP was far off and it made a world of difference in accuracy. Anything with a lot of blue was bright blue, including a purplish section of sky. Reds were also way off. After proper calibration the screen matched the sublimation output.
I am not sure how accurate the calibration of really modern monitors is. If it is not accurate, dead accurate, to printed output, something is off and the best place to start is the monitor. Once that is done you have a basis to see where problems may lie.
