David,

After reading it again I apologise, the construction is somewhat 
confusing though:

 >But the iMac displays will be factory calibrated with a 
spectro-radiometer, just as Datacolor Spyder display calibrators are, so 
recalibration over time using a hardware calibrator should be aligned 
nicely to bring the iMac color back to the same standard it was 
calibrated to at the factory.<
