there good documentation of how to actually perform the calibration
for matching two side by side monitors? I don't see anything specific
in the provided documentation nor the software interface pertaining to
monitor matching procedures.
What are you envisioning beyond whats there? You define a custom target that both can meet, with a black luminance value matching the weaker (higher) black, and a white luminance value below both native whitepoints (way below, if they are bright LCDs). Then you calibrate both to this target, and you are done. Beyond that its a matter of using a color managed application to display two copies of the same image on both screens. If the gamut if each is different, then there might be a few fringe colors one can reach, but the other can't. Otherwise, thats about as matched as monitors get. Given that most LCDs have few controls there is little tuning that can be done.
