<title>Why don't the default monitor profiles have a calibration expiry?</title>
24
The default color profile used for each monitor is generated
25
automatically based on the display EDID which is stored in a memory
26
chip inside the monitor.
27
The EDID only gives us a snapshot of the available colors the monitor
28
was capable of displaying when it was manufactured, and does not
29
contain much other information for color correction.
33
<desc>As the EDID cannot be updated, it has no expiry date.</desc>

Getting a profile from the monitor vendor or creating a profile
40
youself would lead to more accurate color correction.
