Using all together it allows you to calibrate and profile your display using a measurement device (of course Argyll CMS did a lot more).

/usr/bin/nvidia-settings -l

A lot of calibration chart can be found at Normen Koren's site

I'm a little bit disappointed that such a tool like KGamma for the Gnome desktop is missing.
