Title: ICC profiles not working when switching between monitors?
Post by: Per Zangenberg on October 14, 2009, 12:35:49 am: I have calibrated both my monitor and my LCD TV. But when I switch from monitor to TV (Windows 7) Windows does not activate the profile for the TV even though it is listed at standard under color management?!? I can force-activate it using a profile chooser that came with the Spyder3 software, but then when I switch back to my monitor it does not activate that profile and just keeps using the TV profile. Any suggestions?

It may not be the fault of Windows 7 at all. Did you have the identical set-up working properly with a previous Windows O/S?

I just bought the new Radeon HD 5770 wich supports 3 screen connected, so I will se how it behaves with that.

Hope it works for you. Do let us know.
