- There are entirely too many variables between the two. Phosphor
- frequencies, electron gun emission curves, lighting, monitor type,
- driving circutry. Unless both monitors are calibrated by the same
- equipment and corrected in software, they will never look the same.
- And who is to say which is more "correct"?
