Hello guys and gals,

I am one step closer to finishing my triple Dell 2405FPW surround gaming system. The only thing I need now is to purchase the TripleHead2Go Digital adapter and I will be ready to go!

I am wondering... Is there a nice tool that can be used to calibrate the 3 monitors, so that they can look very similar as far as colors, luminance and all them goodies are concerned?

For those wondering, here is my current setup:

CoolerMaster Cosmos S case
(3) Dell2405FPW 24" monitors
DFI LanParty UT P35 T2R mobo
Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 @ 4GHz (500MHz x 8) cpu
4GB (2x2GB) OZC Flex II DDR2 ram
EVGA nVidia GTX280 videocard
(2) WD 320GB HDD RAID-0 (OS)
(1) WD 320GB HDD (Flight Sim drive))
Corsair CM PSU-750TX powersupply
Vista 64 Home Premium SP1

Thanks for any help!!!

I used a Lacie BluEye Pro Colorimeter. Pricey, but with 6 monitors to setup and the potential to offer it as a Professional service it was worth it.

If you have 3 exact same monitors then it should not be that hard to calibrate them. Just use exactly the same settings for brightness, color settings, and image modes. With this, you don't have to spend more on a monitor calibrating tool.

If they are still not the same, then I know one monitor calibration tool from the brand "spyder." I think their cheapest is about $75.

The main point that calibration exists for is exactly because no matter how similar in make or model, every panel is different.

Can't say I've ever justified the cost of those seldom used, stick a thing to scratch the panel, spyder or other devices though. I just use reference images such as:

to adjust things a bit.
