Of course, first thing I did was to try to make it "look" like my NEC PA271W. They're both LCD monitors yet, at the same chromaticity and Luminance, they don't look the "same". One is "reddish" (CG-21) while the other (NEC) is "greenish".
Your CMF's are not the same as the standard observer. The most practical fix is to tweak the white point on one to visually match the other. [ You may find after doing this that they then match at one distance, but not from a different distance. CMF's depend on viewing angle. ]
Question: so, colorimeter see the monitors as "identical" because their respective spectra produce the same "signal" to the brain, in terms of "sensation". I don't suppose spectral measurements of their respective white points could not be used in some sort of advanced spectral matching computation?
If you happen to know your own CMF's, then yes, you should be able to get them to match via measurement. Cheers, Graeme Gill.
