Matching the Colour Settings on a Dual Monitor Setup

[LosOjos]

Hi all,

 

I managed to pillage a spare monitor a few weeks back to get a dual monitor set up in my office. The problem is, they're different makes of monitor (one's a gnr, the other's an acer) and slightly different sizes (although that doesn't really bother me). What is bugging me is that no matter how much I mess with the colour/brightness/contrast settings on the monitors or through Catalyst, I just cannot get them to match up, not even close!

 

The gnr is much 'warmer' looking, even if I turn down the reds and increase the blues, and the acer is much more saturated, again even when I turn down saturation.

 

I'm not expecting to get a perfect match given that they're totally different monitors, but does anybody know of any (free) software I can download or a good website I can use that will aid me in setting them up to look as similar as possible?

 

Thanks,

 

Josh

Colorvision Spyder 3 Express (DATA137) - Warehouse Express This would do it, but you would need your graphics driver to be able to output different settings to each monitor.

Thanks for that, I'm after a free option though as its just a minor niggle, not enough to justify me shelling out £60
