filmscanners: Trying to Calibrate Monitors to Match

[Larry Berman <larry@bermanart.com>]

Now that I've got my new Win2K system up and running (still waiting for a 
second Sony monitor from Dell), I'm finding that it's impossible to get the 
monitors to look alike (by eye) between my Win98SE system and the Win2K 
system. The grays on the Win2K are much colder and lighter in comparing 
Photoshop's tool bars and menus. I know that there's been a few threads in 
the past on calibration, and it something I now have to take a hard look at.

I was looking at the ColorCal system:
http://www.colorcal.com
Monitor Spyder with PhotoCal Software for $224
Monitor Spyder with OptiCal Software for $399
optional RGB profile for an additional $199 or less as a bundle (because 
I'll probably be getting an Epson printer in a about two months).

Is anyone using one of these calibration systems with Win2K? Which would 
you recommend to calibrate and match monitors across the two Windoze 
operating systems (Win2K and Win98SE), and across the dual monitors on each 
individual system.

If you want me to keep this off the forum e-mail me privately ( 
mailto:larry@bermanart.com ). I'll be happy to take all the responses and 
create a page for them on my web site where it can remain as a reference. 
But I know I consider it a relevant topic and would want to read them here.

Thanks,

Larry
