Okay, so I succumbed to my son-in-laws suggestions to get rid of my Eizo CRT's and get 2 Apple cinema displays. I found it quite easy to calibrate the Eizos, but am having trouble getting the 2 cinema displays the same. What are people using to calibrate their cinema displays?

I use an X-Rite Eye-One Display LT for my 20" Cinema Display. I believe there is a way to get both your monitors to match via the software. You could also upgrade the Display LT to the Display 2 through a software upgrade.

I almost forgot...I'm not sure if it's still an issue, but many owners of the current 23" Cinema Display had quality issues (pink cast). I didn't see that many complaints with the 20" and 30".

Colorvision Spyder2 for me. Used to have the original Spyder, would get the Spyder3 if I needed a calibrator now. I'm very happy with the results!
