This applet works for some people (some configurations, actually) and  
not for others... But keep in mind that you do not have two correctly  
calibrated displays unless each is having the correct profile assigned  
to it, and the correct video corrections flashed to it at startup.  
Either one of these steps could be an issue.

Unless you are setting both displays to the same brightness (white  
luminance in geek terms) then there is no way that either the  
brightness or the saturation on them will match. If you use Measured  
Mode, and set the white luminance value to a number both displays can  
reach, and leave black luminance blank, you should get a much closer  
match.
