There's one issue with the Matrox cards. They are great but ICC colour
control on both monitors isn't possible. I have the 550 and have no problem
with that aspect but a friend has the same card and when working on the
calibrated monitor the customer next to him has the habit of watching the
other one with the menus and then he says "but I like the image as it is on
this one" ...............
