Have you calibrated the black points of both monitors and set them to the
same temperature?

Subject: filmscanners: Trying to Calibrate Monitors to Match
| 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:
|
| 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,
|
