general questions about connecting 2005fpw to 2001fp

I recently bought a 2001fp to connect to my 2005fpw. However, I have a few questions and would appreciate it if someone could help me out.

1) What is the point of USB cables on LCD monitors? They seem to work fine without them. Should I be using them?

2) The color is slightly off betweent the two monitors. The monitor settings are identical. Is this just because the 2001fp has different pixels or something?

Any info would be appreciated. Thanks.

1)well if you don't like em, don't use em. no big deal.
2)just cause the setting are the same doesn't mean the colors will be. all monitors are slightly different from the rest. to sync the colors you need to get one of those calibrator eyes.

what i would do is go to your local electronics store, pick one of those up, use it, then just return it. yes i'm cheap.
