Monitor colour profiles - Nightmare!

Feek · 06-06-2008, 19:43

I've just replaced my second monitor because my old one was getting a bit past it and I'm trying to colour profile the two screens so that the colours on the two of them are the same.

How hard should it be?

It's a bloody nightmare! I run the calibration on one screen and then do it on the other and if I hang firefox between the two screens, the colours are completely different. I've been going backwards and forwards for the best part of an hour but I still can't get it right. This is using the native OS X colour profiler.

I'm sure there's software costing hundreds of pounds with devices to hang in front of the screen that'll do it perfectly but all I want is two screens that look roughly the same..

At the moment the BD backgrounds (not the header image) are either light green or light blue depending on which screen I use
