Re: [colorvision_group] Two displays attached

2009-02-10 by Cdtobie

You will need to profile both (if you care about having the laptop  
screen profiled). But they are very different screen types, so  
matching them isn't really going to happen. PC laptop videocards don't  
usually have the capacity to assign LUTs to each display individually,  
so you will probably need to assign the currently appropriate profile  
using the Profile Chooser utility, switching as needed.
