    I bought two W2252TQ lg monitors and got them set up and the colours are way off, I tried adjusting them manually and dicking around for like 2 hours and cannot get them to match. I was just wondering if anybody know the best way to do this or if there is software that can easily match the colours and stuff.. It is kind of annoying having two monitors displaying two different results.

    I am looking forward to hearing some responses.

    Thanks for your time.

    If your monitors come with calibration software, use it. But I have no idea how to calibrate 2 monitors individually and keep their profiles.

    I tried adjusting them through the monitors, my graphic card software and the awful software that comes with the LG monitors. The colors don't even get close or I am completely retarded. It is really annoying and I cannot stand looking at two screens that aren't even close to being in sync. LG support is just disgusting and is beyond useless. I probably won't ever buy a LG product again.

    Having much the same problem w/2 Daewoo-Lucom's through a 7800gs-co . I tried about a dozen diferent programs all free but finally gave up. These monitors were manufactured almost a year apart but the oldest is brightest/vibrant. I finally gave up and don't even notice most times. From what I heard there's quite a range in calibration at the factory but they can be professionally tuned as a last resort at home/shop (read not cheap). I just settled for close.

    The new W2252TQ batch comes with Vista Certified drivers. For calibrating the LG displays you must run the LG program named 'Forte Manager'. However, you must install the LG W2252TQ driver program for this to work. I think the driver supports multiple instances, so individual monitor preferences will be preserved each time you boot Windows. Since Windows supplies a perfectly serviceable 'plug and play' generic driver, you might be tempted to believe you don't need the LG driver. However, 'Forte Manager' won't work with the Windows monitor driver. Also, check the LG website to get the latest 'Forte Manager'. There may be copies of it floating around that won't work with Vista. :)
