picked up an acer x243w (on the staples deal, $280 for a good 24" widescreen lcd..) and am running it along with my older acer al1916w 19" widescreen. The main issue i'm having is dealing with color matching between the two..

anyway.. can anyone reccomend me some good (free, preferably.. I try to avoid pirated software these days) calibration software, hopefully something that will walk me through it.. not really that interested in monitor calibration to spend hours on the subject.....

Open MS paint on both monitors, and pick the same colors, green red and blue (one at a time), and adjust your monitors color settings (the menu on the monitor itself).

We use this SW when tuning a room.

Let me check on the file size of this application and perhaps I can throw in on a server.....
