I have 2 monitors, but for some reason, they never match up color wise. The monitor on my laptop is better than the one on my desktop in terms of color and resolution, but it get's kind of frustrating working on something and fine tuning the color balance then going to a different monitor, whether it be at home or school, then seeing all those changes basically washed out. Is there a way to kind of normalize the colors from monitor to monitor?

I should say that it won't magically improve your monitor if it's too old or is simply not as good as your other screen. It's just going to measure the light in your room and adjust the monitors to display colors appropriately.
I did have problems trying to calibrate a wide gamut monitor to SRGB standards, but that's a separate issue.
My desktop monitor isn't old. I've had it for about 2 years now. Is that old by monitor standards?
And display it on the monitor you want to calibrate then adjust the settings until it matches what you want. This is basically what an automated calibration machine does anyway.
Well, I guess it depends on how many hours you've used it. One of my monitors is over 5 years old and has been used heavily so it's not nearly as bright as it used to be. Calibration can only do so much to help it. :poly136:
