Hi all, I have Dual Studio Displays and they are not color matching. The one on the left is less saturated. I don't plan to use a calibration tool, and have never really needed it, but if these 2 monitors are exactly the same, they should match, no?

Could you have the same photo on both displays. That will best highlight any differences.
 
hmmm... wouldn't final "tweaking" usually be needed to match two displays, despite being "exactly the same". All you really know is that they were manufactured with the same parts
Unless... you got some kind of calibration certification chart, showing that individual display screen was calibrated, listing the calibration technique that was used, with the final results.
Or, something similar to that.

See attached, I have a pretty good eye (graphic designer) and you may be right, it might be the macOS screensaver that has the colors off. I'm going to do some more investigations.

Well the studio displays never came with any calibration charts, and generally whenever I bought Mac displays I always expected them to be the same across them and even Macs.
