How to correct the screen colour
 

We need to get all four screens in the office correct and similar, Two Sampos AlphaScan 712, 1 Samsung Syncmaster 753vfx and a laptop. which at the moment looks the best :(
This one at home I can live with, but everything looks a bit red.
So any ideas suggestions. And do not tell me to throw them all out.
Is there any kind of test card I can download or something.

They all look a bit "warm"

Thanks.

Isnt that something that you can change on the acctual monitor? Like a Color Control?

I've tried that and they are still not balanced.

throw away, buy new.

If you have PhotoShop have you used the Calibrate Your Monitor fucntion? It takes you through a series of steps to adust monitor brightness and contrast, set white point and black point, gamma correction and other stuff. Then it saves all the settings.

The whole topic of getting similar results on different output devices is enormously complex and something I don't really understand too well. Every monitor, every priniter, every everything has different characteristics and the same file will look different on each one.

What I do is have one monitor that I use to judge if pictures look good. I have found if it looks good on that monitor, then most people don't complain so I assume it looks acceptable on most people's monitors.

some video cards also have controls for adjusting the the color correction via software. If you cant get it close enough using the monitor buttons and any software controls you have I would not mess with it unless you happen to have a vector scope handy and want to play with the rgb guns on the picture tube. Now with LCD monitors I would not even know how to calibrate them :(
