I just want to comment that I have two identical model displays side
by side in a dual monitor configuration on my desktop. Both are
identical as far as any model vendor and number are concerned. Yet
side by side it is pretty obvious to me that they have a difference in
color tone between them. They are definitely not the same even though
by specification they will be the same.

The first order difference in my two monitors I think is that the
backlight is not identical between them. One shows a slightly warmer
color hue to the backlight from the other. I think that swamps other
effects causing differences in my "matched pair".

None of this really has any effect on how nice a color theme looks on
the displays though. That's an art project more than a science project.
