Hi Eric
Barco measure each individual monitor in the factory with a high end
spectrophotometer. This data is then stored on a chip in the display and
used to both to generate the profiles and to compensate for the difference
between the sequel sensor that ships with the display and the factory
spectrophotometer.
The theory is that the calibration always returns the monitor to the factory
state so you can generate the characterisation data only once. The profiles
generated include any gamma and white point choices you have made. The
results are usually very accurate but I still prefer the Artisan.
