The desktop has two monitors, of different ages and quality. However, the difference between images I'm referring to in this thread, is visible on the *same* monitor when using MSWindows (either natively or within a VM), but much less so on Linux. I've tried to make the two monitors' colours look similar, but the old Dell monitor has a lot more red in it which I can't take out using the hardware adjustments. I have been thinking to buy one of these little measuring devices and now may be a good time. Would you mind explaining how it works? You measure the icc of a monitor - what do you do with this then? Do you need to be running something like colord all the time to feed some correction data to xranrd? -- Regards, Mick
