I then decided to open PS and look at one pictures on both screens and again it showed the flatness in the colors. I do know why but I pulled over the histogram over to the second screen and it did NOT change - it was the same color on both screens. The same was true with the color swatches.
I took screen shots of the histogram and color swatches from the main monitor and and then moved them to the second screen that is lighter in color. As you can see the colors of the histogram / swatches do not change yet the picture is. I would have assumed they would change also.
That is expected behavior. The histogram should not change, because the histogram is a representation of your image, not your screen. The image itself doesn't change when you drag it from one screen to another, just the way it looks will change because the monitors aren't identical.
I agree about the histogram - this is the actual image data. But with regards to the screens, if you have calibrated all the screens to the same data point (hardware calibrator) then the image should look identical which ever screen it is being displayed on - this is the whole point of calibrating, to remove differences between non-identical monitors.
That's not entirely true. Calibration makes the images look as closely together as the hardware allows. They won't be identical, unless the monitors are identical. To take a real life example: if you view an AdobeRGB image on two different monitors, one monitor being an sRGB monitor and the other monitor being an AdobeRGB monitor, you should see a difference if both monitors are properly calibrated. If you didn't, why would you buy an expensive AdobeRGB monitor in the first place?
