Hi Tom, I have set up a lot of monitors using the DVI connection. The only problem I have encountered is where the video card is set so the vga connector is the default connection. Under those circumstances the monitor won't function at all and I have to hook up a VGA monitor for a minute and configure the card so the DVI connection is the default. After that it works fine. If you are having color problems with a brand new monitor I would try another cable and see if that fixes it. If not I would hook up the monitor using a standard VGA cable. If it's still bad try VGA on another computer. My guess is if another cable doesn't fix it that you have a flakey monitor.

I put my first one together the other day, and it was a nightmare getting the colors right. Didn't know if I got a whack monitor, or if its something about DVI. I'm going to try it again tomorrow and wondered if my last experience was a one-off, or if DVI connections need more babysitting.
