Have 2 NEC LCD monitors of exact same model.

Yet, in the System Preferences -> Displays -> Color, I get 2 different
lists of valid color calibrations.

Where are these stored?
I'd like to normalize the lists to have a single entry that is the same
for both monitors.

(And hoping it solves the problem that when OS-X takes over, it insists
on assignin an odd resolution to one of the 2 identical screens until I
unplug and replug it. (during boot, EFI has the correct resolution).

Do you see a checkbox labeled "Show profiles for this display only"? If so, uncheck it and you should see the same list of monitors. Try the folder ~/Library/ColorSync/Profiles. Try calibrating your monitors and see if you get a new profile file.

Can't help you with that.

Nop. Monitor 1 and Monitor 2 get different lists despite being same model.


Try the folder

~/Library/ColorSync/Profiles.

Found only 1 which I had created. That one only appears available as a
chode for one of the identical monitors.

But in /Library/ColorSync/Profiles I see a whole bunch of them.

I'll have to dig down to see if there are serial numbers or other unique identified in those files that only make it availbale for one monitor.


I also have something like 13 version of .icc files for my TV.
