Color Match Multiple PC Monitors - Tekzilla

00:14 Color Matching Multiple PC Monitors

Yves from Brasil wants to color match his two PC monitors but is finding Windows tool unhelpful. Robert suggests first resetting both monitors to their factory settings and then use a tool like the Online Monitor Test to calibrate them via the contrast and brightness controls using a medium color temperature. For more precise calibration consider a hardware color meter like CalPC or Datacolor's Spyder3Express.

03:08 Recording Good Audio with a Camcorder

Robbie was interested in recommendations for a new camcorder with a decent mic to record concerts. The truth is that all consumer level camcorders feature pretty atrocious microphones. They were meant to be cheap not good. Robbie's best bet is to pick up a 1/8" stereo mic jack to XLR adapter. We're partial to juicedLink. From there you'll need to pick up a single or pair of shotgun mics and cables. Another option is to use a portable digital audio recorder and then edit the sound into the video later.

What is the purpose of resetting the graphics driver settings in control panel?

Hey, I have 2 monitors.  The colors, contrast, & brightness are different on both displays.

I tried to change it manually, but it's impossible to get them to look similar.

I like the display of one monitor but not the other.  Is there a hardware I can buy that will copy the display settings of the one I like & duplicate it on the other monitor?

Use a Huey Pro for mulit monitor color calibrartion. It only cost $80 and a lot of pro photographers use it. It is almost as good as the M2, but MUCH cheaper.

Could you please have the full episodes on you tube again? It has gone from a one click simple way to watch the videos, to a several click experience circa 1999.

Oh please.... Veronica is easily worth a couple of clicks!
Not to even mention the great tech tips.

Can the lazy get any lazier?

You can't color match SIPS panels with shitty TN panels...
TN panel can't even dream of outputting colour range and contrast of SIPS panel monitors on the MAC...
