Nice post, I always enjoy a little DIY! I’ve done something similar, but have used my old light table as it is already color corrected in comparison to a computer monitor.

If the monitor has been well warmed up before you start (say fully switched on for 30 minutes or so) then you should be OK to complete a single roll / batch of photos from a single white balance measurement. I think It would definitely be worth taking a fresh white balance shot at the start of each roll if you plan to scan more than one roll of film or 1 batch of slides and a very accurate colour balance is important to your batch of scans.

So make sure the monitor is warmed up before you start, and reset the white balance every so often.
