Why? I supposed calibration were for analogue devices, and that digital
components processed objective numbers.

The junky little TTX monitor I flip flop between one of my old PCs
and an extra G4Mac cannot use the same profile to achieve the same
accuracy on both computers. I attribute this to the video cards.
It would stand to reason that video cards, even hardware devices of
the same manufacturer (like printers), behave differently within some
tolerance and perhaps beyond. Still, a monitor and its profile being
flitted from one computer to the next is still better (in theory)
than eyeballing.
