Lora Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 I hope this isn't a dumb question but I can't seem to figure it out. I have a lenovo laptop and have hooked up a mac monitor to it. I have calibrated the laptop monitor but how do I do the same with the mac monitor? I can't figure out how to set it up so the software knows I'm calibrating on a different monitor. I have the i1 Display pro. thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christina Keddie Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 You literally drag the calibration software window over onto your external monitor. I think you may need to set up the monitor to be a dual display (an extension of your laptop monitor, not a mirror of it) for this to work, but just dragging it over and then placing your calibrator on the external monitor screen should do it.

Lora Posted February 20, 2016 Author Share Posted February 20, 2016 I figured it out as soon as I posted this, hehe. The first time I tried the software wasn't picking up the second monitor so I restated it. Now it is. thanks! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you update your profile information? 4 hours ago, Lora said: any idea why my mac display looks like this? the whole middle is pink This is really weird. Is it exactly in the middle? I mean, exactly the same width border around each edge? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lora Posted February 21, 2016 Author Share Posted February 21, 2016 There is a border around the whole edge but it is uneven in some parts. My husband thinks it might have something to do with the screen saver I used to use. I guess it happens a lot with Mac monitors, where the color from the screen saver bleeds though. Like the pixels get used to being a certain color and will stay that way. I am currently running some program he got that often fixes this. I just have a white screen up and I'm suppose to leave it on until the pink disappears. Hopefully it will work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Symonds Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 Very interesting. This is out of my league. Do you mind reporting back, to let me know how it goes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lora Posted February 21, 2016 Author Share Posted February 21, 2016 (edited) Sure thing So far its not working so well. Its a really old monitor, so not that big of a deal. Thanks for taking the time out of your day to speak with me. This is the program I'm using in case you come across something like this again and need to use it. http://www.jscreenfix.com/ Edited February 21, 2016 by Lora Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
