hi there

I'm using a powermac g4 with an Acer AL1717 TFT 17' monitor

The colours on the screen look different when printed out on standard paper.

This is looks obvious in comparison to my Apple Studio Display 21' CRT monitor - where the colours are rather similar

is there a way to collobrate the TFT monitor - so that the colours on the screen and on paper are identical?

thanx in advance
