These may be dumb questions but ... Did you create a separate profile 
for each of the monitors or are you trying to use the same profile 
for both?  The monitors may be the same brand, same model but there 
could still be differences in them.  

Also have you swappng changing the two monitors (connection wise on 
the card) to see if the problem follows the monitor or the connection 
positions?
