I don't know if the Huey works the same way as the Spyder 2. The Spyder
2 has a profile loader that is run at startup and *reprograms* the
graphics card to get close to the selected gamma etc ( I assume to
correct for the monitors inaccuracies). Certain operations in the
control panel of my Matrox G550 reset the card with a considerable
change in brightness, gamma and white point. I then have to use the
profile loader to reprogram the card again. So although you get an ICC
with the Spyder 2 the ICC is NOT that of the monitor its that of the
reprogrammed graphics card and monitor pair. This is why the Spyder will
not work with certain operating systems/graphics cards and will not work
if there are two monitors attached to the same graphics card because it
can't do the reprogramming.
summary
for Spyder 2 the ICC profile is the reprogrammed graphics card and
monitor pair. If you don't use the loader program the ICC is not a good
match for the unprogrammed graphics card and monitor pair. - the ICC by
itself is useless without the reprogramming of the DAC/colour lookup table
