Calibrating two monitors on XP
Hey Everyone,
There apparently IS a way to calibrate two monitors running off of one dual-monitor Video card.
Go to this site: http://www.microsoft.com/prophoto/do...s/default.aspx
Download the color control applet, which allows you to select a different monitor profile for each monitor.
Then stick it in your startup folder with the /L flag (to load profiles).
Now both my LCDs look about the same. The colors are better on my 2490Wuxi though, because ...... well, because it has better colors.
The 2490 seems a lot 'redder' than any other monitor I've used before, even after calibration. I almost feel like I need a way to crank down the saturation on this monitor somehow.
I never realized how horrible the colors were on my Dell 610 laptop until I compared its LCD to my other two. I even calibrated it and it didn't do a freakin' thing.
