New Dell 3400 with dual NVS 290 cards - good enough?

Quote from chuckie:

Yes, they're nice monitors. One things has me slightly worried though. Pretty much each monitor is showing a slightly different white when I stretch a white background across all the screens (such as Google homepage etc). This is also noticeable to a lesser degree when viewing light colours too (I have the backgrounds of my charts a pale green colour).

Do you think this is a problem? Is it something I can fix with a calibrator?

By the way, I made sure all the monitors were reset to their factory settings.

Not a problem, as there is a bit of variation in all monitors.

The factory settings are far from ideal. There are published settings after hardware calibration.... Brightness 17, Contrast, 65, RGB 251/235/242. I set mine to that but found there to be a bit too much red and toned it down a bit.

Suggest you try those settings, then adjust as necessary to make them all match as best you can.

I have 3, 20" for charts.. and their white background intensity varies a bit. My chart backgrounds are black and I notice no variation at all.
