I know how to calibration a monitor but never tried dual monitor calibration and Im getting different and inaccurate results for one of the monitor. Im using Palette Master Element and i1display pro to calibrate both montiro one by one. I get ICC profile but the brightness of both monitors are differnet. Any idea?
Got a tip for us?

So when you open PM with does it open a dialogue box where you can see two monitors listed or open a dialogue box on each?
From there it should be just a case of following the wizard.
If your still stuck I'll set a couple up at work and test them.
Well when I select monitor 1, the calibration plate shows on monitor 2. I just moved it to 2 but not sure. RIght now, first one has more magenta hue and cant calibrates it well.
Okay. I'll set up a couple on Monday and see what I can do. You are on the latest version of Palette Master Elements from the BenQ website I take it, not the one from the disc in the box?
Just because I'm not familiar with that system:
Are you saving the calibration to the monitors or the video card?

Saved to the LUT on each screen.
OP I was slammed at work yesterday but will get on it today.
So when you set it up did you connect the USB3 cable? You will need to connect both monitors. You can daisy chain them though.
That's your problem then. The software doesn't see the monitor without the USB cable. Connect the second cable to the port on the side of the first BenQ, then plug the B end to the second monitor.
Now when you run the monitor you should see both listed in the drop down in PME. Just choose one, calibrate it then when it's finished do the next one.
idk why but when I pick the first monitor, the calibration screen shows up on the other screen.
In the drop down menu choose the other one, then drag it to the other screen.
2nd monitor is fine but the 1st one does not get a right calibration. Im still seeing magenta cast and the brightness is different. I tried 10 times already.
Last thing to try then.
Completely disconnect the first monitor and calibrate the second one on its own. How does that look?
Not good. I tried every single method but I got awkward results. Cant blame my monitors cause while the software is calibrating my monitor, it shows a great result but at the end, it becomes weird such as low brightness and magenta hue even I set same settings.
I see some brightness and color differences between two monitors. I dont know what to do at this moment.
So last thing to try would be to do a factory reset on the monitors. In the menu.
Then try using the i1 software instead and see how that looks. If there is still a problem give BenQ a call.
Where are you based?
