Considering that the display adapters also have different color settings - probably no way!
MANY years ago (at least 12), when we were moving from unix terminals to PCs, one of the first PCs we bought had a little blue soft plastic square - about 2"x2". It would cling to the glass of the monitor. One could then diddle with assorted adapter and perhaps monitor settings until that blue (at least) matched the square. Interesting to see what others mention! -- richard "John Aldrich" <[email protected]> 04/26/2011 12:53 PM Please respond to "NT System Admin Issues" <[email protected]> To "NT System Admin Issues" <[email protected]> Press this button if the "To" is a fax number.

He's got some special software that allows him to take a carpet pattern and make a picture of what it should look like. We then post that picture on our website. One of the managers was complaining because the colors don't match up to the actual sample. I have tried to explain to him that it will vary quite a bit depending on the type of machine and monitor you're looking at the picture on. We showed the same picture on four different monitors hooked up to two different machines and got four different colors, a couple of them dramatically different from the other 2. Two of the monitors were Dell LCD desktop monitors, one was a Dell XPS laptop screen, the 4th was an IBM flat panel. It was the darkest and "greenest" even after resetting the monitor to the factory specs using the on-board reset. Now that I've explained the problem... any suggestions on how to get things so that they closely approximate the actual product? ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to [email protected] with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to [email protected] with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin
