The desktop has two monitors, of different ages and quality.  However, the 
difference between images I'm referring to in this thread, is visible on the 
*same* monitor when using MSWindows (either natively or within a VM), but much 
less so on Linux.  I've tried to make the two monitors' colours look similar, 
but the old Dell monitor has a lot more red in it which I can't take out using 
the hardware adjustments.

I have been thinking to buy one of these little measuring devices and now may 
be a good time.

Would you mind explaining how it works?  You measure the icc of a monitor - 
what do you do with this then?  Do you need to be running something like 
colord all the time to feed some correction data to xranrd?
