i cant really help you... every monitor is different and changing the settings is different. best i can say is check your monitors manual, or google for the manual

weird, according to this test my monitor is set up to dark, I corrected it now but everything looks much more blurry to me.
And the gamma-test didn't work for me:S

Doesn't really work for LCD's to be honest, since they change colour depending on what kind of an angle you're looking from. Bugger, Bump, Sorry! I should really pay more attention.  |

Thanks for these. I had to adjust the brightness a tiny bit. I would've thought this five-year-old monitor would suck. ------------- "baboy" is Filipino for "pig" |
