Dual Displays have different brightness
Hi All-
I'm at the end of my rope with this situation.... two apple cinema displays which won't match brightness. When a single display is plugged in (either display) it looks to be normal in brightness, contrast and color. As soon as a second display is plugged in the second display dims. I've replaced the graphics card, bought a new display, changed slots etc. I notice that this differential is present from the start... the blue screens during boot looks clearly mis-matched.
Can anyone help shed a bit of light on this situation? I'm a video editor and am using my second display for color correction.
Here are my exact details:
Power Mac Quad core running 10.6.8
NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT (this is the second of identical cards I've tried.)
Displays:
#1 Cinema HD:
Resolution: 1920 x 1200
Pixel Depth: 32-Bit Color (ARGB8888)
Display Serial Number: 2A******UG0
Main Display: Yes
Mirror: Off

Pixel Depth: 32-Bit Color (ARGB8888)

Thanks!
