need help on setting up monitors color

Post by candyapple »

Hello everyone, I've recently purchased 2 new dell P2210 monitors and using my old samsung 22" monitor to set up my own eyefinity set up. The problem is both the dell monitors colors doesn't match my samsung monitor and I'm having a really difficulty time trying to adjust the color to match the samsung one. I was wondering is there like a software that can auto configure the color setting for me to match my samsung colors or do I have to do it the hard way (adjusting it myself)?

I don't think there is anything cheap and easy for this other than doing it yourself... going to each panel individually in CCC, Graphics --> desktop display --> (right click on monitor icon at bottom go to "configure") --> color tab.. then play with the color temp, hue, saturation, etc for each panel do the same.. I have had to spend a day or two here and there tweaking my 3 identical panels to my liking.. it can take a bit.

Are you looking for them just to "match" or are you trying to get them to be "correct?"

In the end, there is no real software to help you do what you want to do, because as far as the computer is concerned the monitors all look the same. There are calibration pictures and such you can use, and nVidia cards have a tool that allows you to manipulate sliders until the color looks to your liking.

But if you want them to be "correct," then you will have to buy a hardware calibrating tool.
