Can you tell me just what you did? What I did was to use Custom, set Brightness and Contrast, Color Controls for R, G, and B, and I chose one of the 3 choices for Gamma. I don't remember the details, but I did that while trying to follow the argyll instructions for calibrating/profiling a monitor. I don't see anyway to just turn off the `advanced display settings'. I don't remember the details of what I did, but presumably much of it I need not have done. > I did calibration om mine and got fine enough results with a simple > matrix profile. > > harald hugenschmidt > > Am 28.11.2008 um 23:28 schrieb Markku Kolkka: > > > Leonard Evens kirjoitti viestissään (lähetysaika perjantai, 28. > > marraskuuta 2008): > >> I have a Samsung 226CW LCD monitor.
