Re: Dual Calibration Step by Step

2007-04-18 by Delbert L Kimbler

I just did this, but you should have it easier.  I have a Dell 1907FP 
and HP LP2065.

Pick a monitor to be first.  Process it to your taste.  It is a little 
easier, I believe, if you use measured luminance.  That means you will 
need to determine appropriate luminance levels.  I turned on ambient 
light measurment to see what the software would recommend.

Based on my lighting, I chose black level of 0.5 candela/square meter 
and white level of 150.  Calibrated to these levels and desired color 
temp -- I chose 5800 K.  Then, calibrated the other monitor the same 
way.  Since your monitors are identical, this should not be a problem.  
After calibrating, click on Tools then Information to see the quality 
of your calibration -- check the delta-E values, shoot for between 1 
and 3, closer to 1 is better.

If you Google this you will find some sites that can help.  Search for 
dual monitor calibration.
