I have two monitors on one PC (extend option). The colour for two monitors are different, how can I make the colour settings.  E.g For monitor A, the colour is as shown in the below image    and for the monitor B, the colour is as shown in the below image

I use a dual monitor.  The colors appear entirely different on the new monitor than they do on my laptop.  When you are selecting colors etc, to be included in a website design, it totally freaks me out.  Is there no software solution that finds how the settings of one of the monitor is and puts that to the second one?  Otherwise what all settings do I need to change manually on the second monitor to make it appear as it does on the laptop?  Thanks in advance.

I find this beyond frustrating.  I have two extra screens on my laptop at work. I take my laptop and go home, with no extra screens connected. I come back, dock the laptop, and the windows need to be rearranged again.  Is there a way to get windows (or a utility) to keep track of the overall screen configuration (#, size, resolution), and remember where windows were placed, so when the screen configuration matches again, it puts applications BACK where they were?

I run this command to allow me to move windows between screens:  xrandr --auto  This magic command fixes my screen for me (before I run this my 2nd monitor is just an empty space where I can move my mouse). How can I make whatever this command does stick when I reboot? I'm more interested in fixing my configuration than just re-running this command, but I'm clueless as to how to make this happen.  I have 2 monitors, DFP 5 and DFP 6. Running xrandr results in this:  DFP1 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) DFP2 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) DFP3 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) DFP4 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) DFP5 connected 1680x1050+1680+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 474mm x 296mm    1680x1050      60.0*+    1400x1050      60.0      1280x1024      75.0     60.0      1440x900       60.0      1280x960       75.0     60.0      1280x800       75.0     60.0      1152x864       60.0     75.0      1280x768       75.0     60.0      1280x720       75.0     60.0      1024x768       75.0     60.0      800x600        75.0     60.3      640x480        75.0     59.9   DFP6 connected 1680x1050+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 474mm x 296mm    1680x1050      60.0*+    1400x1050      60.0      1280x1024      75.0     60.0      1440x900       60.0      1280x960       75.0     60.0      1280x800       75.0     60.0      1152x864       60.0     75.0      1280x768       75.0     60.0      1280x720       75.0     60.0      1024x768       75.0     60.0      800x600        75.0     60.3      640x480        75.0     59.9   CRT1 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)   I have already set up DFP 6 to be right of DFP 5 using the Displays menu in debian. Here is my xorg.conf file:  Section "ServerLayout"         Identifier     "aticonfig Layout"         Screen      0  "aticonfig-Screen[0]-0" 0 0 EndSection  Section "Module" EndSection  Section "Monitor"         Identifier   "aticonfig-Monitor[0]-0"         Option      "VendorName" "ATI Proprietary Driver"         Option      "ModelName" "Generic Autodetecting Monitor"         Option      "DPMS" "true" EndSection  Section "Device"         Identifier  "aticonfig-Device[0]-0"         Driver      "fglrx"         BusID       "PCI:4:0:0" EndSection  Section "Screen"         Identifier "aticonfig-Screen[0]-0"         Device     "aticonfig-Device[0]-0"         Monitor    "aticonfig-Monitor[0]-0"         DefaultDepth     24         SubSection "Display"                 Viewport   0 0                 Depth     24                 virtual 3360 1050         EndSubSection EndSection   It seems to be configured for everything to be one screen, and xrandr --auto somehow fixes it. Is there some way of taking a peek at what this command is doing to save the result to xorg.conf? How do you normally use xrandr to get the results to persist?   If I search for this I either get told to modify my xorg.conf file (which I don't know how to do because I don't know what xrandr --auto is actually doing) or instructions on how to run xrandr on startup, which I'm guessing isn't necessary, but I may be wrong.

I have my Windows 10 desktop computer connected to two displays through HDMI - one monitor and one TV, which I can toggle through with Windows Key+P as described in the accepted answer to .  However, I was wondering if there was some hotkey, shortcut, or button combination I could use sort of like a "Virtual KVM Switch" that lets me select one display or another specifically, without needing to cycle/toggle through other displays.

I need to create a multi-monitor setup for my desktop computer but I have no additional monitors with me right now, aside from my laptop. Is it possible to use my laptop screen as an external monitor?  Note that I am not trying to connect a monitor to my laptop, rather, I am trying to connect my laptop screen to a desktop video card (if this is possible).

Is the Windows8 start screen capable of spanning 2 monitors?  This is not a question of multiple monitor support; this is a question of whether the Windows-8 start screen is able to display across 2 monitors, not as a mirrored display but as a additive display to the width of the single screen start screen.   Or, does a app exist that I can purchase for it to do this?

Is there such a thing?  I don't want multiple separate desktops, what I'd like to be able to do is split my main desktop into two areas so that an application in one when maximized won't take up the "Full" physical screen, but its portion of it.  I would like to be able to keep some apps maximized, but still view others off to the side with a single monitor.  Ideas?

I have a dual monitor set-up. When I'm on YouTube, and I click the fullscreen icon, the fullscreen automatically goes to the second monitor. How do I get it to go fullscreen on my main monitor?

Is it possible to have 2 extended monitors and get the third being a mirror of one of the two extended?   I'm pretty sure it's not possible through the interface but it may be possible through commands or configuration file.  If it's seems weird for you, here is my setup :    2 monitors, pretty classic working with dual monitor 1 big TV that I use as a projector to show things off to people (on meetings for example)

At work, I have two monitors.  Both of them are Dell E198WFPs, however, manufactured 8 months apart from one another, so they're not from the same lot.  I'm looking to calibrate them.  Currently, my secondary monitor (on the left) is the one I use for text reading, because it's easier to read.  Can someone suggest either a cheap calibration puck that works well, or a software solution that's relatively easy to work with?  I run Windows XP and have full admin access to my machine (I'm the domain administrator)  My graphics card in the machine is an nVidia Quadro NVS 285, if that makes much of a difference.

I tried to find an answer to this a few years ago, but it seemed it wasn't possible then (I suspect it isn't now either! - but what the hell!)   I have a three monitor system, that I mostly use for remote desktop. However occasionally it would be useful to have remote desktop on two monitors and use the other monitor for the local machine.   I know it is possible to have a single monitor full screen, or to stretch an RDP session across monitors, but this loses things like snapping etc.   P.S. this is a duplicate of  thread, but that was a couple of years ago, I'm hoping things have changed.

I have 2 monitors connected to a NVIDIA GeForce GTX 660:   Left is 1920x1080 via DVI (Samsung SyncMaster 2443BW) Right is 2560x1440 via DisplayPort and is set to Primary (Samsung SyncMaster SA850)   I often leave my computer running overnight (working on long render job, doing backups, etc) so I only power off my monitors manually. However, if I power off the primary monitor, it is disabled completely as if it were unplugged from the graphics card (i.e. icons are moved, open apps are moved and resized to fit on the new primary monitor). If I switch from DP to a DVI cable, this does not occur. It seems to be an issue when using DisplayPort.  Is there a way to disable the monitor from being disabled completely in Windows when I power it off physically?   I have found no relevant settings in either Windows Display settings, nor the NVIDIA control panel software.  Edit #1: I'm using an .  Edit #2: Here is a screenshot of my NVIDIA Control Panel v7.2.710.0:   Edit #3: Here are screenshots of my Monitor configuration:    Clicking on Advanced settings reveals a Generic PnP monitor running at 59 Hz? 60 Hz is the only other option available.    Here is my secondary monitor which is connected via DVI:    Edit #4: If I open the "Screen Resolution" configuration panel and power the monitor off (via the power switch), this is what is shown:    It looks like I disconnected the monitor from the video card.

I have a pair of pretty nice monitors (HP ZR30w) which I calibrated with a pretty good calibrator (i1-Pro) and after I calibrated both they still show colors every so slightly differently.  My left monitor has a little more magenta color to it in photos.  Is monitor calibration only ment to get things 'close'?  Other people in the office have experienced similar issues with their pairs of monitors, both HP ZR30w and Dell 3007WFP-HC monitors.  If I can't even get colors to match between my two exact same monitors connected to the same computer I have little confidence that colors on my monitors will look the same on somebody else's calibrated monitor :p

Is there some way to modify the colour of the "Close" button in Windows 8?   On several applications, an active window displays a not-so-subtle red.

I'm using:   Alienware M14xR2 laptop running Ubuntu 14.04 2 * DELL U2412M monitors attached via HDMI and Mini Display Port Optimus graphics (Intel + nVidia GeForce GT 650M) running with nvidea-340 and nvidia-prime, with Prime setup in nvidia-settings GUI to use the NVidia GPU built-in laptop monitor disabled   Unfortunately, the monitors only work successfully in the default mirrored setup - I have the following issues trying to get a dual external screen extended desktop to work:   nvidia-settings GUI can only see one monitor on the X Server Display Config page. System Display GUI can see both displays but can only mirror the displays successfully. By fiddling with Display GUI and ARandR, I temporarily managed to get an extended desktop working, but NVidia GUI still only sees one of the monitors and if I try to reboot with 2 monitors attached, the GUI is totally glitched and unusable after login. During boot, the system just uses the left monitor (via HDMI i/f) for display, so I presume this is treated as the primary display. However, after boot, it appears the system switches to using the Display Port for the primary display and the system will not let me have the Ubuntu launcher only on the left (HDMI) display. The only options that work are for having the launcher on both or just on the right (Display Port) monitor. I tried to forcefully fix the issue with the primary monitor incorrectly being set to the right monitor by changing the primary monitor switch in ~/.config/monitors.xml, however this does not work and causes both monitors to appear at strange resolutions and glitch badly with uncoordinated mouse input.

Equaling 3 Displays Total (or 2, if the laptop display cannot be used).  I work at home on two large monitors, but at the office on a laptop with a single large monitor. Is it possible to attach two (or more?) external monitors to a laptop without having them clone each-others display?

I designed a mockup on my LG monitor. When I view the same design on another monitor that I own, the colors seem drastically different. I reset both of the monitors to their factory defaults, but still the issue persists. I'm wondering if some of my clients might dislike my designs because of this. What should I do?  How can I make sure that what I design is what my client sees?  Even worse still, I've realized that my laptop is showing different colors too.
