I have a 22" Mitsubishi 2040u and a LaCie electron 19 blue (also Mitsubishi)
that I use side by side with PhotoShop. I have tried to profile them to look
alike using PreCal/Optical and the Spyder colorimeter.
Two problems:
1. I can't get the two monitors to match...
Typically, I profile the Mitsubishi first (since that's the monitor I place
the image window on in PhotoShop), and create a target. I then use that
target as the basis for profiling the LaCie monitor. I've also tried
profiling the LaCie monitor by itself, without using the Mitsubishi profile
as a target.
In either case, the LaCie is always cooler and richer (more contrast). The
Mitsubishi is always warmer and less contrasty. The desktop image on both
monitors is a gray gradient background, and the color of the gray and the
brightness of the gradient simply don't match.
I only use the LaCie for placing the palettes on, but obviously something is
off, and I have no idea which monitor is properly profiled.
2. I can no longer get the Mitsubishi monitor to meet the black level in
Optical, even with the brightness at 100% and the luminance set high in
PreCal (around 112), and... referencing a previous posting, even with the
black level set at "high" in the OSD. The monitor is less than 1 year old.
Any suggestions greatly appreciated...
Doug
