Use same display profile for two monitors?

Hi,

I have two of the same monitor, but can't seem to use the same color profile for both of them, thus the colors are slightly different on each display. I've even duplicated one of the profiles to a different name, but the Displays system preference still lets me use only 1 for 1 monitor.

Any ideas?

Are you saying that you have exactly copied the profile A to another one called B, and that B shows up in the second monitor Displays window and when selected, the colors are different? If so the monitors are not exactly tuned the same way, despite being of the same type. I would use the Calibrate process to change B ever so slightly to match A.

nah, i mean that when profile A is copied to a profile B, only profile A shows up for say, the left monitor.
