Re: Dual Monitor Color Matching?

2008-04-04 by rowli001

I have the exact same issue, albeit with a different graphics card
(NVIDIA Quadro 140M) in a Thinkpad T61P and Advanced docking station).
My problem could well be that I am using the VGA and DVI outputs
instead of a dual head PCI card. Apparently there are issues with
finding a working PCI card with my configuration.

I used the Windows applet to calibrate and set each monitor
seperately, and while you can clearly see the colour configuration
change as you choose the appropriate profile, they in no way match
each other.

I will await the results of you experiments with interest.
