Re: [colorvision_group] Spyder 2: 2 monitors look very different. what now?

2009-05-23 by Cdtobie

First, how do you know that it actually worked? It could be that the  
same profile, or the same VLUTs are being applied to both displays.  
You also don't note if you are matching the brightness levels of the  
two displays. Nor what OS and card are involved.

The absolute best bet is Spyder3 with a PCI Expeess video card from  
any company other than nVidia ( the only comiany who has managed to  
mess up PCI Expess). The cheapest fix for you would be to purchase a  
low cost second video card, rather than mess with other, more  
expensive, upgrades.
