    Calibration Software for tft's?

    Hiya,

    I am currently trying to find some free calibration software for my tft's. They are both the same make, everything exactly the same, but are displaying different colours. For example, whites are slightly more yellow on one tft, while on the other, the grey seems more reddish.

    I have had a go using Adobe RGB which comes with adobe photoshop, but its terrible and after reading up about it, I learnt it is only effective on crt screens.

    Anyhelp would be much appreciated.

    Nvidia has one build into the graphics drviers which is ok, not the best, but mush better than Adobes.

    @ chuckskull, Could you show me how to access the nvidia calibration software? I have an nvidia quadro card, so hopefully I have this feature available to me?

    Also dave87, would the software be called 3deep? I do believe I also got that piece of software with my LG tft. Will go rummaging about in its box later today.

    Thanks for the help guys!

    Thanks for the help Chuckskull!

    I tried the nvidia calibration tool over and above the other solutions mentioned, mainly as it was already installed on my machine.

    And the calibration was very effective. The colours on both monitors are the same, as are the whites. I am very happy with the result.

    Thank you again!
