What is the best (easiest) method?

Select the entire used area of the second sheet, set conditional formatting to determine which cells to format by this formula:-

=A1<>Sheet1!A1

Set a format like 'Fill' = yellow or 'Font' = red (just don't forget to set a format ;-).
The changed cells will be displayed with the format which you set.

In the above formula the first sheet is presumed to be named "Sheet1". Replace the name in the formula with the actual name of that sheet.

The formula also presumes that A1 is included in the selected range. If it isn't use the address of the top left cell of the selected range instead.
