ReviewsSamsung 206BW Color correction on
Samsung Syncmaster 206BW

Greatly appreciate Ker0 Zen's comments and info.

Just got a 2nd 206BW (new, $189) to run two 206BWs off an nVidia-based 8800 GT, switching between DualView and Span modes (and surprisingly having to disable SLI and the 2nd 8800 GT I'd been running to do this).

The new monitor made the image on my older one pale in comparison. Those colors which I thought looked spectacular, now looked yellow shifted to me. (Like the whites of a photo fading with age ;-)

The older monitor was outsorced to CPT, not AU or CMO. (And the new 206BW replaced the "Panel Info" line with 2 HDCP HotPlug related lines.

I can experiment with the .ICM, but do you think the .ICM file to corrct the AU's color would work in 1 or 2 monitor case, and for different "outsorces"? Or would I be better tweaking the gamma?

Thanks
