Not always, nor always reliably. None came with the monitors I presently use. You can choose various profiles for monitors and printers. For example, my Sony 21-inch had no profiles, and its site-downloadable profiles had an error, so I used third-party profiles. My KDS 19-inch had three profiles to choose from. And printers have their own sets of profiles -- plus profiles for the paper itself -- and you get to play mix & match when producing documents. It's even more fun if they're going to a print shop. :) Once everything is calibrated, it's a treat to produce prints that look exactly like you composed the original picture in the camera, and have articles appear with everything in proper color balance. VDTs are still recommended for graphics, by the way. I've been looking at the LaCie monitors for a while, but they're out of the budget.
