    Hey guys i recently got a second monitor and when i hooked it up i realized my old monitors colours where way off. They are both samsung monitors however neither natural color pro nor natural color expert will boot up for me. They both start but the nothing happens and it goes back to the desktop.

    Is there any other free software that will calibrate the monitors so that the colours are the same?

    Can you not manually edit the screens onboard adjustments. I have an old 19" dell and a new 22" 1920 Dell and just auto-adjusted both. Close enough for my taste though the 22 is ever so slightly brighter.

    yeah i reset the settings on both monitors but its still the same, no changes at all.

    Both monitors are connected through DVI so i cant auto adjust the screens which would of been handy

    Buy/borrow someone's calibration equipment, like a Sypder.

    You might find some helpful people in the photography section.

    I'm not aware of any free applications to do this job.

    I was wondering if the auto adjust is a default setting the monitor switches too or does it derive settings based off the computer its connecting too? Would it work if I was to connect my monitors to my laptop through vga and use the auto adjust feature then reconnect them to my pc. would they still retain these settings or revert back to the previous state?
