No matter how good the profiling is, there's still going to be some difference between the color spaces available in print and display. As it is, my color fidelity between screen and print is really good.
There's also going to be some difference between tonal ranges of pigment and phosphor (well, backlit LCD). Underexposed shadows will show better detail on a screen than in a print, no matter how well linearized the curves are.
Part of it is I'm running a crunky old flat panel; profiling can only correct the contrast and brightness within its limits. The blacks just aren't that black. I need to get a higher-contrast display one of these days.
