Q: calibrate two thunderbolt displays

Hey everyone.

 

I need help on how to match the color calibrations on two thunderbolt displays that are right next to each other.

I'm hoping that I can just use the Apple Calibration. I really don't want to spend the money on calibration tools.

 

Any great advice would be most appreciated!

 

Oh, they are connected to Mac Pro (late 2013), dual AMD cards, 16GB of ram.

 

Any thoughts?

Mac Pro (Late 2013), OS X El Capitan (10.11.6)

    the screen where you open the calibration window will calibrate that screen.

    two monitors from the same factory, same manufacturing date may not and likely will not posses identical calibration profiles. profiles can vary on identical hardware.

    Apple calibration tools are spot only, they do not approach the sophistication of a professional calibration or spectral analysis, but they are certainly better than "no calibration"

    That's kind of what I was thinking. I will spend some time with that. If that does not solve my issues, I will get a calibration system. I was just trying to avoid that senario, but at least it will be a business expense and I can write it off on taxes. Thanks so much!
