I have the Matrox Parhelia card and a Sony 19" LCD as primary monitor.

When I try to set the Gamma setting, the instruction is ‘to adjust until the center box fades…". Well, under no setting, it ever fades. Am I doing something wrong here? I just left the setting in the center.

Second issue: my 2nd monitor is a 17" CRT. Allthough I can calibrate both monitors separately, there’s one item that applies to both monitors: the monitor type: phosphor or….

Is this an issue?

Any help is welcome.

The Adobe Gamma program does not work for LCD monitors. Use the settings that may have been supplied by the LCD monitor manufacturer. If nothing else, set up the CRT with Adobe Gamma and forget about the calibration of the LCD.
