Achieving the right colors on a calibrated monitor usually requires
both adjustments to the monitor itself
Correct, hardware adjustments are preferred, videocard corrections are used to make up for whatever the hardware can't control...
(either through buttons or ideally through DDC, which you don't have)and the software adjustment
to videocard output (LUTs) that gets loaded on startup.
This is where you adjust monitors without hardware controls, or finetune on top of hardware/DDC controls (the digital direct version of hardware controls).
So if you
don't have either RGB buttons or DDC I suppose you get a more limited
choice of targets.
You get more software (VLUT) adjustment, and less hardware adjustment... not using DDC means the same thing: a small increase in the amount of your adjustment that occurs in VLUTs instead of hardware.
