Has anyone ever heard of calibrating a monitor to ensure that colors are true?? If so have you ever done this??

If so, is this done with a program??

I've heard photographers may do this, but I've noticed that all of our monitors are slightly different colors and wanted to see if I could correct this...

Thanks again...

Hi Junior

If you rt click the desktop and go to properties and then select advanced, you will see a color management tab. Each screen manufacture has an icm or icc file that goes in there. It is suppose to give your screen the same quality as the printed form. I know that photoshop uses that file and it can make a difference on what you see.

I just bought a flat screen and they seem to be configured somewhat differently, They have set it up so the user can determine the color intensity. I know when color TV's first came out, my aunt would fiddle with the screen to get the grass green for a football game, which completely screwed up the set for regular viewing. What you are trying to do seems simple, but the user usually wins out on this one.

Thanks Ice...

I'll take a look at that this weekend, and let ya know if I have any more questions...
