Use MagicColor and the CUSTOM mode.Use the following settings:-------------------------------------------------------Brightness: 68Contrast : 85Red: 26Green: 28Blue: 11Color Tone: CustomGamma: Mode 1I just set up my monitor with the above, and am getting beautiful and saturated colors standing off from the white backgrounds.Mitch

How are the blacks on that monitor? The big complaint I hear about LCD monitors is their lack of doing blacks well. Is this an invalid complaint with this Samsung 226BW?I also hear newer LCD's do this better...??RhettAMD 3700+ (@2585 mhz), eVGA 7800GT 256 (Guru3D 93.71), ASUS A8N-E, PC Power 510 SLI, 2gb Corsair XMS 3-3-3-8 (1T), WD 150 gig 10000rpm Raptor, WD 250gig 7200rpm SATA2, Seagate 120gb 5400 rpm external HD, CoolerMaster Praetorian

Hi Rhett,I was just about to sign off and shut down. :)Really quickly, like any LCD there is some (very, very, minor) bleed around the edges of the display. In real-world terms, does it bother you? NO!You wouldn't see it in a movie, you don't see it while running software, etc....there is a White Paper answer, and then there is a Real World answer. This will not bother or annoy you. That is the Real World answer.As I intend to discuss tomorrow, Samsung has a really neat hardware concept called Dynamic Contrast.This is a computer chip that MONITORS what is being displayed in REAL TIME, and constantly corrects the contrast and brightness AS YOU view your content.In this mode, there was NO bleed seen. None, when my screen went to full black in usage. Not only that, but in using this mode with a flight simulation is a dream-come-true. Remember, this is an ever-changing set-up that is customizing itself in milliseconds to what scene is being rendered! Movie, software, whatever! Awesome!Tomorrow, I'll give full details, of the how's,why's and wherefore's.Mitch
