non matching LCD monitors at DVinfo.net

Hey all
Just bought three new Acer LCD monitors, one of them doesn't match the other two, being too cool. I've been through every setting I can find and can't get it to match. Should I take it back or should I get a monitor calibrating device?

Thanks!

I invested in a Colorvision Spyder... handy if you have only 1 LCD, perfect if you have 3 non-matching. It's amazing how 'out' your LCDs are before you use this device to correct them.

One digital connection, one analogue. The 3rd monitor is connectedto a 2nd PC via analogue. I used to have three matching CRT monitors which matched perfectly without touching them.
