The desktop has two monitors, of different ages and quality. However, the |
| 23 |
difference between images I'm referring to in this thread, is visible on the |
| 24 |
*same* monitor when using MSWindows (either natively or within a VM), but much |
| 25 |
less so on Linux. I've tried to make the two monitors' colours look similar, |
| 26 |
but the old Dell monitor has a lot more red in it which I can't take out using |
| 27 |
the hardware adjustments. |

I have been thinking to buy one of these little measuring devices and now may |
| 30 |
be a good time. |

Would you mind explaining how it works? You measure the icc of a monitor - |
| 33 |
what do you do with this then? Do you need to be running something like |
| 34 |
colord all the time to feed some correction data to xranrd? |
