What is the Best Multi-Monitor Calibration Tool?

sojourndeath asks: "I am looking for a good way to calibrate multiple monitors (30-40), so that their color looks similar? It seems like everything I find is for profiling your monitor to your printer and scanner. I need to be able to have a bunch of users see the same color on any monitor? Does anyone have a good, accurate way of doing this?"

    * I'm English, from England, and I know how to spell English words. It's not my fault the founding fathers didn't take a decent dictionary to America.

    Interesting that you should say that, since Noah Webster was the person who did the most to reduce the illogical spelling which, like measles, chicken pox, typhus, typhoid fever, dysentery, scarlet fever, diphtheria, bubonic plague, and whooping cough, survived the journey from England. His dictionary of 1821 included the following:

    * musick became music (musick spelling is no longer in use today)
    * publick became public (publick spelling is no longer in use today)
    * cheque became check
    * colour became color
    * plough became plow
    * favour became favor
    * phantasy became fantasy (phantasy is now only used as an old-fashioned affectation)

    I suppose that you are still mourning the loss of "musick", "publick", and "phantasy"...

    Beginning in 1934, the Chicago Tribune adopted many simplified spellings for words, many of which have become widely accepted:

    * hiccough became hiccup
    * interne became intern
    * mediaeval (or mediæval) became medieval
    * gramme became gram
    * sulphur became sulfur (dominant spelling in American English, IUPAC-adopted spelling)

    Unless you think that "hour" rhymes with "whore," there is no logical reason for having a "u" in the word "color."
