This continued poor state of affairs is really the monitor manufacturers
fault. There is no reason they could not agree to put the necessary
information in a published (but initially private) ICC tag, nor is there
any reason they could not standardize or at least make public the means of
configuring the monitor. In would then be straightforward for
Operating Systems and other software to set the monitors
correctly, just as happens now for the vcgt tag and the video
card LUTs. It's also the fault of the video card manufacturers,
for not providing > 8 bit LUT output values (too much focus on
games), and VESA for only providing 8 bits in the (relatively recent)
DVI standard (no excuse there).
