Considering that you can connect several, allegedly, identical monitors
to view the same image simultaneously, and get glaringly obvious
differences between each monitor, I'm not surprised.
There's a very wide tolerance in electronics, including the actual
display, as well as what drives it. You really need profiles to be a
measurement of the actual display that you're using, taking into account
its user-settings and your room lighting.

George Orwell's '1984' was supposed to be a warning against tyranny, not
a set of instructions for supposedly democratic governments.
