Hi, is there ant tool, utility to color calibrate, match 3 monitors with the above stystem... so moving a pictures from one monitor to another will be the same on any monitor? any test patterns whatever to set it up? I would love then to have the print out be the same color i see on screen any help? Or match the print out to be the same as the screen color? this is without spending $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ |

I can empathise. You can use a piece of hardware, like the "Spyder" product series, which seem highly recommended. OR be a cheapo like and do it manually: I use mspaint to make a few horizontal color bars and fill my screens. Then i use the video drivers to alter the Color Temperature until my whites match, then i start messing with my RGB settings until it's close enough to be acceptable. The first time i did this, it took me about 40 minutes of frustrating work, but now i can get it done in about 3 minutes. My colors now match pretty well, except I've never been able to get yellow quite right. It's still closely matched, but I have to stop and really look for the difference. I'm pretty picky, but it's good enough for me. It's a good reason to have identical displays. |

I believe because windows sees it as one monitor you can only have 1 profile active. You would have to calibrate the middle monitor and then manually match up the other 2 if they are out. |

That's what I ended up doing. I have three identical monitors, and they looked identical when they were new, but their color profiles have slowly drifted over the years. Without calibration, my left monitor has a yellow tint and is dimmer than the other two, my middle monitor leans more towards blue, and my right monitor is close to perfect. I spent hours tweaking the color settings on the monitors themselves (since you can't calibrate separately from your drivers when in SLS mode) to get them all matching again. I haven't had to do that in a long time, so I'm guessing the backlights have aged to a point where their color profiles have stopped drifting appreciably. |
