Both screens were calibrated with the same spyder2, and as I said I
used spyder2 software, in totally dark room with the same video card
(DVI output).
As ususal I used 6500K, 2.2.
Two identical model monitors, same videocard and configuration, same settings... whats different between the two. You didn't answer all my questions, so I don't know if you are using Spyder2PRO, so I don't know if you have the info window available to check white luminance on each etc...
Without that info, my guess is that your monitor is too bright, and is nonlinear at the top end. This would require dimming the monitor. You could set a target white luminance for this in Spyder2PRO, for Spyder2, you would must dim the monitor before starting. Most LCDs are too bright for color managed work anyways, and dimming them also exends the life, so there are multiple reasons to try this.
