Monitor Color Profile/Color Management Screen

Captured Exposure

Hi There,

I was recalibrating my monitors and reinstalling video drivers and found that on one monitor there was an entry for plugplay.icm and on the other there was nothing.

When using Spyder3 should there be any entries in this particualr section.

I have added screenshot of teh area I am talking about.


Thanks
Dan

I ended up mailing Datacolor support which was quite good and quite fast considering the experiences I have had with email support with other companies.

After a series of question which they asked me...


This is an FYI for their response.


Daniel,

Unfortunately because you are running Windows XP you will only be able to load a single profile onto your video card at any one time.
This is a limitation of Windows XP and where as it only supports the use a a single LUT(look up table) on a video card. The LUT is where a monitors icc profile is located. Regardless if the video card supports dual LUTs and dual displays Windows XP can only use one LUT at a time. Thus in XP the only way to have dual displays with there own separate profiles is to use two video cards. Which is unfortunately not an option for you as you are using a laptop. Both Vista and Windows 7 do not have such a limitation.

I assume that the BenQ is the display you would like to have profiled.
To reset display settings please start up the Spyder3Pro software and in the Menu bar select: Go/Edit Display Information
Now you should be able to start over and select your BenQ as the display with which the profile will be created for.

Hope this helps and please let us know if you have any further questions.
