I dont understand what anyone is saying 

perhaps someone would be kind enough to explain what all the fuss is w/r
to 'native gamma' in monitors

surely 

a/a monitor's electronics are linear in its response to measured levels
of electricity sent to it or is not

b/a monitor has a limited capacity to match a given range of levels of
electrical signal to brightness values

c/ the grafic card is capable of delivering precise levels of electic
output as defined by the lut (or not)

d/ the phosphors are linear in their response or not

e/ the phosphors emit the desired spectra (eg that the red does not emit
blue light)  


...and that is it 

if all this is true, then the only place where one can say that there be
a 'native gamma' is in the  monitor's response to a specific table of
voltages 

if the monitor is calibrated (by whatever method) and the grafic card is
capable of delivering reasonably stable and precise control over
voltage.....of what consequence is the 'native' gama?

surely nothing
