| Post subject: | Different colors in monitors |
I got my eyefinity running and it's pretty ASUM!!! I have this odd problem that in my center monitor the colors are better (colors seem washed in sidemonitors) than in my side monitors and I was wondering why. All monitors are same Monitors support VGA, DVI and HDMI. The center monitor is connected to DVI->DVI-VGA adapter->monitor Sidemonitors are connected to minidisplay-port->passive/active DVI-adapter->monitor I just wanted ask you guys before I start messing with connection (last time it took over 3 hours to get thing working) although I think if I swich all to VGA that might fix the problem. Rig is in sig. |

The monitors you have are a type call TN (Twisted Nematic). These panels have smaller viewing angles, so the monitor that your looking at will have the nicest picture, where the sides will a slightly washed out feel to them. Now it could be that they look different because of connection differences (Analog vs Digital). You can try messing with contrast and brightness settings. |

I'm pretty sure it isn't the viewing angles and messing with settings only seem to make things lighter or darker. |

Perhaps the Color Temperature settings are different. Either through the monitor OSD itself, or your video card drivers. Did you buy all 3 monitors together? I've noticed that the same model, manufactured months or years apart, acan have differeing color. Whether it's simply the age pr different manufacturing, I don;t know... |

There can be any number of reasons. Depending upon when the panels were manufactured they might have different innards in the displays. Also if they're cheap panels the manufacturer might be very liberal with color variation on the panels put into the displays. A third situation is if an active adapter is used it could cause a different color gamut for that display than passive adapters which just pass through the signal on two of the ports. |
