I am a graphic designer and I have two 19" Dell Ultra-Sharp LCDs...and I need to calibrate them. Unfortunately one is hooked up via HDMI and one VGA....

Is there some sort of Calibration disk I can use...?

What kind of graphics are you working with? If you're doing computer work, and not video work, you should not use any of the video calibration discs out there as they are authored properly for video levels, not graphics levels. There are many graphics levels patterns floating around the net that you can use, and there are also some graphics-levels monitor calibration wizards and tools with good patterns too if you hunt around you should be able to find ample patterns for this.

Just make sure you're using appropriate patterns, either graphics or vido, for your task.

I'm doing graphic work...almost 100% still image/graphic work.

Jason,

Check out DisplayMate. It's software for DOS and Windows (can also be run on other platforms) for doing just that. www.displaymate.com
