Mass market display makers can't be bothered either characterizing their displays nor maintaining particular behaviour. High end displays may be better, but I have no firm knowledge one way or the other.
From my visual impressions with CompIcc, the EDIDs are at least a good guess. The difference is instantly obvious and a significant improvement.
Higher end display EDIDs tent to perform better simply because of the more careful calibrated state of gray reproduction. I have seen LCDs which needed nearly no calibration. Then the gamma guess from the EDID data delivers reasonable results for that approach. The strength lays in the primary correction through the EDID information. Different sized gamuts can instantly appear more close saturated and pure colours improve with a ICC profile generated from the EDID primaries.
I was really sceptical to implement on the fly ICC profile generation from EDID. After using that feature in Oyranos a while, its a real win.
