I want to match up all 3 of my monitors as closely as the my old eyes can tell, was wondering if there was a color bar picture that was horizontal, or any suggestions for doing this would be helpfull. Thanks, Deke |

If you have identical monitors I'd start out with identical settings. If not I'd start out with something like the test patterns on DVE to get the ballpark settings correct. I use my Spyder2 and HCFR after setting the contrast and brigthness controls, to do a greyscale correction for each monitor. Be aware that if your monitors are less than perpendicular to your eyes that WILL throw out the calibration. |

Deke it may or may not help you but I used Eizo Monitor Test and it has a lot of stuff to test monitors with. Getting 3 instances of it running on all 3 monitors was tricky though. Also there was this monitor test website I found that was good but I forgot the url googling "monitor test website" will find it probably. Also after I got the main settings down I just took a handfull of pictures I had saved to my computer and put them between monitors to compare how they looked. I got my monitors nearly 100% matched, the only reason I cant get 100% is because my center monitor is significantly different than my 2 outside monitors for some reason when it comes to green. |

Thanks ViciousXUSMC, Two of the three are exactly the same, the third is close, just a tad bit bluer. Oh ya thanks for the suggestions as well atledreier, but I guess I don't need something that professional. Thanks, Deke |

Well I got to playing around with backgrounds for 3 pretty monitors and then thats when I found it, you can set your background to a solid color, this worked great to match all 3 monitors to showing the same color, took alittle bit of doing, but now they're pretty much equal. Deke :) |
