Possibly, but because of hardware improvements, and software  
improvements, such as the StudioMatch tool for determining optimal  
target settings for multiple displays.

Well, you need to use Measured Mode, and choose a Luminance level that  
both can match, then calibrate both to target values appropriate to  
your working space. Even then, there may be visible differences. But  
you don't tell us in what why they fail to match (gray balance? color  
gamut?) or in what application they fail to match; after all, profiles  
can't fix color matching in non-color managed applications, like Word,  
PowerPoint or Internet Explorer...
