Agreed, I don't think we're able to percieve minor
tonal differences either ..but I'm talking extreme here (since I can spot
the difference :P) , and I've tried to calibrate them with the lights off .. in
a dark room.
Some guy I talked to at the LG repair shop said
that these lcd panels can vary (alot) depending on what factory
they come from or even the batch.
Imagine I had to take both my monitors there and
try at least 10 others to find a good match ..where both looked like having
the same temperature.

The
human eye is very bad at judging colour or tonal differences unless the
colours are adjacent to each other and it?s easily swayed in its judgment by
what?s around it. You may not believe it but you?re not actually able to make
that kind of judgment unless the difference is extreme. It?s more likely that
whatever light or background colours are in the environment surrounding the
monitors is swaying your perception. In my own study the colour I perceive on
my monitor varies according to the weather ? warm when it?s overcast, cooler
when the sun?s out ? and also according to whether I?ve been using the laptop
monitor, which is a tad on the warm side. The LCD is correctly calibrated but
tends to look cool after a stint on the crappy laptop
screen.

but seriously, I
think you will agree that they are superior as far as image quality and color
reproduction is concerned. And that they would be 'correct' if properly
calibrated for a medium .. TV/print etc.
I've even used that
spider calibration thingy on two LG's I have at home and white still looks
greenish-white....
Two Dell's I have
at work show the middle gray, brownish... and ofcourse ..both
monitors in both occasions can't show the exact same colours even with the
exact same settings.
...either that or
i'm going color blind.

So
you?re telling me that it?s automagically correct for web, TV, DVD, CMYK,
every printer ever made, all at the same time? Excellent. Is it right for
film too?

That
makes no sense. True for what?
If it's an eizo
