...then, having redacted the answer, ignorantly re-asked the question:

|Well how come if I do a format and rebuild and install my video drivers
|I can't set my colours above 256 until I install my monitor drivers?

Can you say "circular argument"?
At this point, one is reminded of the proverb
"There are none so blind as those who will not see".

The original statement was:
|||Monitors don't need drivers, per se.

For those with reading comprehension problems:

No one has said the files are not NECESSARY;
an installation process WILL demand them.
A device driver is SPECIFIC TO A PARTICULAR OPERATING SYSTEM,
so these color-correction files ARE NOT DEVICE DRIVERS
--as the SAME file is used for *any* OS.
