Is there a quick and easy way to calibrate multiple monitors of various brands to look alike? Doesnt have to be perfect, but close would be nice.

Clone the displays to get the same image, then use color samples. http://www.lagom.nl/lcd-test/ for oodles. It's just trial-and-error. And patience

Or you can buy a calibration tool like the "Spyder" it think it's called.

I use the eye-1 and when I calibrate it calibrates all 3 screens at the same time (because windows recognizes it as 1 screen). I use the easy mode though, because advanced would be for each monitor and easy does it all at once.

Thanks for the recommendations.

But for the actual calibrating, how do I do it? I hear I should max out RGB for all of them and "go from there", whatever that means.

Calibrate one of your monitors to look right (Use White as well as a Picture), then adjust the other screens to match that screen (I have had the best results using single colored images (Red, Blue, Green, Black, White) spanned over all screens)

For the actual calibration: Go to the Colors menu of your screen's OSD menu and choose "Custom Color" (or similar named), max out each color by its own and then start calibrating by reducing color values as needed.
