There are entirely too many variables between the two.  Phosphor
frequencies, electron gun emission curves, lighting, monitor type,
driving circutry.  Unless both monitors are calibrated by the same
equipment and corrected in software, they will never look the same.
And who is to say which is more "correct"?

Don't sweat it.
