What would be the best way to match the color on two identical LCD
monitors using a Spyder2Pro? The monitors look close but not quite the
same.


Well the answer to that would involve lots of info you do not include:

What are your lighting conditions?

What type of monitors (LCD, CRT etc)?

Same or different brands, models?

What max white luminance can each manage (from S2P info)?

Are you targeting B&;W luminance values when you calibrate?

Are you on Mac or Windows?

What brand and model of video card(s)?

What format of Video cards (PCI, PCI Express?)

Are both monitors on the same computer, or different ones?

Are both against a dim, neutral background, with no windows behind them?

Are you comparing them in a color managed application (with full multiple monitor support)?
