Widescreen Gaming Forum

In my eyefinity 3 setup, my middle screen has an annoying yellow tinge to it. I've check the monitor menu and all the settings are the same on all three monitors. How do I change the color levels on the middle screen in particular while the screens are in a group?

Also, its 2 years older than the satellite screens so could it just be that?

I know your pains, guy. I have a mismatched center, too. Is the yellow-ish display the same model, but just newer?

First, get all three display to show the same image. Either a large image to spans all screens, or make then all cloned. I use test images I've yoinked from http://www.lagom.nl/lcd-test/. Go to that http://www.lagom.nl/lcd-test/ site and using the contrast adn brightness pages, try to use you monitors OSD controls to get it all to match. THEN you can work on color.

In CCC, go to Desktops & Displays. One the bottom where the numbered monitors are lined up, right click the one you want to de-yellow and select Configure. Under the Color tab, change the Color Template Control slider a few until you see a value that more closely matches your other displays.You will certainly get closer to a good match doing this. If you are unable to, you can try giving your OTHER displays ore yellow to match the center, then use individual RGB vales in your desktop color settings to reduce the yellow. You can change individual RGB values for ALL screens in CCC at Desktop Properties, under the Color tab. You can also alter gamma here.

I sue an IPS for center and two identical TN's for the sides, and I mostly have them matched. My center has a wee bit more red than the others, but it hardy noticeable. And it's ignored when I'm focused on playing a game.

There are also hardware solutions for you that are spoken highly of here, like the "Spyder" calibration unit. Personally, i'm too cheap to buy one, and went the difficult route of calibrating manually.

Hi Guys,

Had the same issue with my Samsung 245T and it would drive my crazy. Granted I'm using Samsung's but I did some research and found something that worked for me and may work for you guys.

Here is what I found....

How to fix Samsung Defective Monitors?

The monitor profile “Samsung – Natural Color Pro 1.0 ICM” appears to be defective.
Please rerun your monitor calibration software.

I encountered this problem when running my Adobe Photoshop CS3. The error message occurs to most Samsung LCD Monitors which is the color management is control by an file with .ICM extension. This causes your screen showing other colors than normal. (example: yellowish). Solution: Apply a new color profile.



For Windows XP users
Right-click the desktop, and click “Properties”
Click “Settings” Tab. Click “Advanced” button.
Click “Color Management” Tab.
Click “Add” button (To add a new color profile)
Select “sRGB” or “Adobe RGB”. Click Add.
Click OK once you are done.
Restart computer.

For Windows Vista users
Right-click the desktop, and click “Personalize”
Click “Display Settings” Tab. Click “Advanced Settings” button.
Click “Color Management” button.
Click “Color Management” Tab.
select your monitor and tick the “use my settings for this device”.
Click “Add” button (To add a new color calibration file) to replace the defective one.
Select “sRGB” or “Adobe RGB”. Click Add.
Finally, set the Adobe RGB as the default for the monitor.
Restart computer.

BTW I'm on Windows 7 and the Vista fix worked. If you have multiple monitors you have to do this to each one and BAM!!! No more yellow tinge.

Hope this helps :wink:
