Is the process the same for Black luminance and does it matter as much
as white luminance?
Inverse, but similar, you would choose the higher black luminance, and target that for both monitors; that is, if your monitors have a control that can adjust black luminance, most LCDs do not.
If one monitor can't hit the black luminance
target, do you just plug in the target value that it can hit?
If one monitor isn't bright enough, you lower your white luminance target until both can hit it, if one monitor isn't dark enough, you raise your black lumiance target until both can hit it. Again, that is if you have monitors with black luminance controls, such as CRTs or a few advanced LCDs. With most LCDs you are stuck with "native black luminance"... which tends to be fairly similar between monitors, once the white luminance is matched.
