Re: Quad monitors. Getting there!

2007-11-28 by Randy L

Wow, good thing I did not open my new video cards yet. I was planning
to load XP on the new machine. they are nvidias.

Problem though, the reason I bought nvidias is that in the vid card
control panel in the driver color control there is curves adjustment.
In the nvidia driver the curves control allows you to move the shadow
and highlight ends of each channel curve independently. The ATI does not. 

For some strange reason I am getting strong yellow in the shadows on 2
different projectors which I can remove successfully with that curves
adjustment with out screwing up the highlights with the nvidia. If the
calibration works this might not be a problem anymore but if
calibration dosent I can always resort to it. 

Maybe I should upgrade to Vista?

Thanks for the tips. I was hoping someone would answer eventually.
