No monitor profile? (Windows 8.1)

General Color & Graphics Monitor Calibration & Soft Proofing

Hi all,

can someone explain to me why there is no color profile listed here? (Screenshot: http://imgur.com/mHNf1VX )
Is it even possible for a monitor to have no profile asigned?

You get to this window on Windows 8.1 via start/control panel/colour management/devices

Thanks for any answers

I believe this is the area where you can import any new profiles that you want to have available as monitor profiles. They unfortunately don’t show the profile that is used by the operating system behind the scenes. But I think that’s what happens. Every operating system will require that a profile be in place for the monitor. It’s probably a variant of sRGB.
