remember something like two cards are needed. Is that true?
There are two sections to monitor calibration: applying correction curves to
the video card, and applying the primary corrections with the profile. The
former is done at the OS level and (on the Mac...) can easily accomidate
multiple monitors and provide the proper corrections for each. The profile is
a different issue, and applications such as Photoshop which use the monitor
profile use only one, so unless the primaries of both monitors are
effectively identical, you don't get matching color. That's why I work with
an Apple Cinema22 and an Apple Studio17; the colors are virtually identical.
The Cinema HD23 I just tested (lovely though it was) had distinctly different
primaries, and thus did not match my other Apple displays, even when
accurately profiled.
