T400 Docking Station and two calibrated screens?

11-07-2009 04:24 AM

Hi Guys,

 

i've a T400 and additional a mini Dock with a VGA and a DVi output. This works fine with two TFTs. But is it possible with this graphic card to calibrate both screens? I'm not sure about this.

Oh, sorry. I meant i want to use a colorimeter to check the screens and both should have after the calibration the exeact same colors. But i'm not sure if this card can handle to display profiles.

you can adjust the gamma and stuffs in either the Intel display tray or the ATI catalyst driver for both of your external screen.

I believe in both the GMA4500 or CCC (ati) you can set a ICC for each monitor you have installed independtly.  Your mileage may very based on the version of windows which you are using.

Thinkpad T500-2081 CTO | T9400 2.53GHz | 3 GB RAM | ATI HD3650 + Intel GM45 | 15.4" LED WXGA+ | Vista Ultimate SP1 | ATI Catalyst 9.10 (non-switchable)
Thinkpad 390x | PII 333 | 256mb ram | NeoMagic 256AV | SVGA LCD | OS/2 v4.52

Depending on the monitors you are running, you may also be able to do this through their controls rather thant he software controls.
