OK, right now I have two 2407's hooked up to my computer. They are brand-new a04's. Unfortunately, one of the displays is noticeably darker than the other. I have tried switching the DVI inputs to see if this was a software/graphics card issue but the same monitor remains dark. I have checked all of the settings and made sure that both of the monitors are the same. Do you have any ideas? Is this monitor defective? Thanks
Check the RGB presets in the service menu. I don't know what they base these values on but every unit has different values and they seem pretty random. One unit I got had great settings but the second one I got had too much green.
It's kinda pointless asking for other peoples setting as everyone's monitor will be in different light conditions / different parts of the world / different quality of light.
Your best bet is to span a good quality colour image over the two monitors and adjust one of them to match the other ( which ever one is correct ).
The best program I can recommend is.....none!
Use your eyes and the RGB settings - If you need more contrast / gamma, your graphics card should provide you with the appropriate settings.
When I clone my two AO3's I have to set it a couple of times in the advanced settings of the video card settings before the brightness will even out or match with both set to the same brightness in the OSD. Don't know why it does it, but it does it every time. I have an nVidia 6800XT; it also did it on my nVidia TI4600. My OSD color settings vary for what I'm using them for at the time.

You cannot expect the monitors to come out of the factory totally equal. You need to tweak the settings to match them up.
