Is it hard to teach old dogs new tricks? Color Correction.

Hello All

For years we have color corrected in standard definition using SONY BVM-20 SDI displays. These units have been tried and true for years in our post production suites. Now we have installed one LM-0750W for field production use and three LM-2450W displays for post production.

The editors do not want to let go of their SONY displays so in each room the Flanders 2450 is sitting next to the SONY. Each Sony display is calibrated with a Minolta CA-100 and they look great. The Flanders displays are all factory calibrated and they look great as well. However here's the rub. Sitting next to each other the Flanders display "looks" over saturated (color). The 0750 field display also "Looks" over saturated as well but with no point of reference (a calibrated tube display).

So what should we do?
Color correct to the SONY and Tweak to Flanders to "look" less saturated and then color correct to it?
Teach the old dog editors to color correct the the Flanders and tell tel a little over saturation is good?

Any other suggestions?

Thanks in advance.
