Not Happy, Seem to have the worst luck with new hardware.

Have you tried calibrating them? Maybe one has a different panel. I know some companies like Samsung had 3 different panel manufacturers for the same model monitor (back in the day of the 226BW)

Done full factory reset and changed colour temp.
No go!

I have a feeling its a different panel.

Not software? Tried swapping around monitors on you video card? Looks like the center one is right and the two outer are way out of cal

x2, the centre one looks spot on and the other two look stuffed! (Though the outside two could be spot on with the centre one being *very* warm and your camera calculated its white balance off the centre one)

They are from Win 7 backgrounds, right? Didn't they have two versions of that baby pic? One in one colour and another that was a kind of gray scale version but with coloured eyes?

How are they connected to gfx? I assume 2 DVI and a display port? Is the display port the centre one?

CordlezToaster · 19th June 2010, 11:00 PM

ok monitors are connected like

1 2 3
DVI DVI HDMI

Monitor 2 is the different colour from rest. Have tried cable swapping, monitor reset.
Colour Temp.

You can also see the colour difference on ocau.

mrpats · 19th June 2010, 11:05 PM

are all these connections of the same card, or is one of them from the onboard gfx chip?

what happens if you make display 1 or 3 the primary display?

if you check the serial/batch numbers on the monitors are they from the same batch/close in the serial sequence?

i have nfi what could be causing it but thought that some of the above might uncover something useful. I've only seen the above scenario when you have displays on VGA + DVI

I'll check serials, but all running off one nvidia gtx 295.

I'm cursed when it comes to new hardware.
My fault though I bought monitor 1 and 3 from good guys and monitor 2 from cpl. I doubt cpl will do shit so I'll have to ring ASUs

disguisey · 19th June 2010, 11:24 PM

Youd think you would be safe buying 3 the same.

Tried reinstalling drivers? There's always a chance that Nvidia have fucked up a profile or something..
