Hi Andrew, That's interesting. The Monitor is a Toshiba Flat Panel and it was quite whack, and had to spend beaucoup time fiddling with the colors using on screen tools, not the monitors built-in tools. Thanks!

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. Well DVI is the raw digital output, so the monitor gets no say in how to actually adjust the image - you can't fiddle with the RGB settings on the monitor itself. If you need to adjust the colours, you need to get some software to mess with the ICM profiles (or to just apply a setting on bootup) in Windows. Adobes Gamma tool might do, or Entechs Powerstrip, if not theres pro things like the MagicEye cameras. Have a google for "monitor calibration" :) Andrew ------------------------------------------------------ List Archives: http://www.webelists.com/cgi/lyris.pl?enter=isalist ISA Server Newsletter: http://www.isaserver.org/pages/newsletter.asp ISA Server FAQ: http://www.isaserver.org/pages/larticle.asp?type=FAQ ------------------------------------------------------ Visit TechGenix.com for more information about our other sites: http://www.techgenix.com ------------------------------------------------------ You are currently subscribed to this ISAserver.org Discussion List as: tshinder@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe visit http://www.webelists.com/cgi/lyris.pl?enter=isalist Report abuse to listadmin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx
