Re: Dual Display Win XP

2007-04-14 by Delbert L Kimbler

Well, it is a good days work when you are pretty sure it is over.  It 
appears that the key was updated device drivers.  Along the way, I 
made use of Windows Color applet, which worked very well; taking 
advice I got from somewhere that appeared reliable, I load the LUTs 
with it at boot time.  Both displays seem to act as they should using 
the Spyder.  The results are display consistency (in particular in 
white point luminance in candela/meter squared and rough color 
temperature), with differences attributable to the displays 
themselves; the HP has deeper blacks than the Dell, and smoother 
color and shading transitions.  SpyderPRO2.2 worked as advertised.  
Thanks for your help.
