Adjusting LCD's RGB during calibration

[Serge Cashman]

I understand that manually adjusting RGB settings on a non-DDC (less than 10 bit internal LUTs) LCD leads to the loss of some monitor colors and can possibly cause visible artifacts.

However sometimes it's unavoidable if I want to match white point on two separate monitors.

The question is - what is actually affected, where it gets stored and how it gets loaded?

Thanks in advance.

You're adjusting the LUTs in the video card (which is basically the same as editing an 8-bit/channel image). The LUTs are stored in the profile. On Windows, how they get loaded depends on the calibration software and, conceivably, on the video card.

Thank you. So I assume it would not affect the calibration of a second computer connected to the same monitor (unlike the RGB guns on a CRT).

With digital connections, no, with analog ones, yes, because different video cards send different voltages in analog. In digital, it's all numbers.
