Display colorsync profile remains unapplied?

[Christopher Hunt]

OK, I've rebooted the machine and have now seen the display myself.  
To me it looks as though display 2 is using the settings of the  
Generic RGB profile where display 1 is using the Sanyo XP50/55  
profile (which is dimmer). Now it could still be to do with the  
differences discussed between the projectors etc., but I just don't  
"feel" that it is having looked at the screens physically - the blue  
just looks too different - richer on display 2 (the brighter one).

I performed a little experiment here and note that if I mirror two  
displays (doesn't matter what type of displays these are) and select  
Generic RGB, the secondary display does not effect the setting. I  
suspect that the secondary display uses the default setting for the  
monitor based on what it looks like to me.

Does this concur with anyone else's observations? Should you not  
expect that the colour profile setting is effected to both displays?

Kind regards,
Christopher
