Wow, thanks Lou for the thorough response! This helps alot. The reason I ask this is because I have a Matrox P650 dual video card. It has two LUT's. If I calibrate/profile one "standard" crt (Monitor 2), then calibrate/profile the other standard crt (Monitor 1 - my main monitor), saving the profile from Monitor 1 as the official profile that starts with Windows...

How much of my Monitor 2 calibration/profiling effort will be retained later on, when I'm viewing a non-color-aware software such as Firefox on Monitor 2? Based on your response, I'm guessing nothing would be retained except for the brightness, contrast, and color temp that I dialed in thru hardware. I just wanted to verify that Monitor 2's gamma setting would not somehow be retained - maybe due to having 2 LUT's on the video card? And now that I think of it, the monitor's color temp adjustment is probably in the video card as well and not really a monitor adjustment?

Thanks again. This is something I wondered about for years, but could never really put into words.
