...when you buy cheap BenQ TN panels to go next to your expensive LG Flatron IPS panels...

No matter what I do in nvidia CP i cant get the benq to look the same, it has a massive OTT red tinge and if you cancel it out it either has a blue tinge or green tinge, you cant just get it "right"

So dont waste your money!
 
Don't calibrate from the nVidia control panel - used the OSD to calibrate.

If you google you may even find the suggested settings from someone who has properly calibrated it.
 
Try using a hardware calibrator. Trying to match 2 monitors exactly by eye, regardless of make and model is pretty damn hard. If you need any sort or reliability and accuracy then a hardware calibrator is the only way to go. Otherwise, for all you know, the IPS panel could be just as far off as the TN panel.
 
My second monitor is a 14" Dell with a dodgy connection that tints the entire screen green. It could be worse mate :)
 
They are calibrated, with a spyder 3 elite, thats the calibration, the IPS is spot on from all angles, if i left it uncalibrated, the benq has a green tinge instead of the pink tinge, and the ips is the wrong colour, though still uniform unlike the benq.

The OSD doesnt seem to do anything at all, its like the nvidia one, as soon as you tone down the red contrast to get rid of the tinge it instantly changes to a blue or green tinge, theres no inbetween!
 
Try knocking down the red and green 2 notches on the TN and increasing blue one notch from the settings in the image.
 
If you are using a calibrator, you shouldn't need to touch the Nvidia control panel. I've not used a Spyder, so I don't know what the software is like. But you should adjust the OSD of the two monitors to get them as close to the target spec you are going for (ie 6500k, 120lumins 2.2gamma) checking the software for what the monitor is outputting while doing this. Also between changes, give the monitor a few seconds for the settings to stabilize. Once you get each monitor in turn as close to the target spec by using the OSD, then and only then run the hardware calibration.
 
You will very rarely get two different monitors, of two sizes from two manufacturers using two panel technologies to look exactly the same. Just use your LG as the reference and the BenQ for panels :)
 
Op basically you can't make TN panel look the same as the IPS panel. The IPS is the superior technology and will always demolish TN in performance and visuals:).
