I just landed from a flight from KDTW to KORD. I used the DYNAMIC contrast setting on my Samsung 245BW LCD monitor.If you engage this chip, your contrast will change in real-time, with whatever is happening or being displayed upon the screen.I heartily recommend you use/explore this hardware feature with flight simulation. I was flying the NOBLE Air 737 and this REALLY added to the realism of the wings, in that the leading edge, heading West had a VERY hard 'glint' to it as a result of the DYNAMIC MODE, giving you a full 3000:1 contrast ratio. It wasn't just---whiter--but had a sun-reflected 'hard' edge to it.It almost made you want to look away as you would in real life. It was an excellent added element to further making the scene 'real'.Also, because DYNAMIC CONTRAST CONTROL again, runs in real-time, you should check out a transition from dusk with a sunset to night.WOW!~!!!!!!!This feature also renders the 'bleed' factor that comes with LCD's to pretty well non-existent. You see it where if you go to to a menu screen in FS9 where the rest of the screen is black. You can see the feature darken the contrast to where bleed is out of mind.You have to get used to the heightened color of the scene, for it does render it more vivid as you are now working with a 'living' contrast as opposed to your desktop 'canned' one-size-fits-all.Give a honest chance--and yourself to get used to it, and how it renders each element of ANY transitioning scene, and I'm sure like you, like myself, goes to this Samsung exclusive mode before you fire up FS9 or..FSX.Cheers!MitchP.S. This feature REALLY kicks behind in dawn-to-day, day-to dusk, and full night time rendering. Oh as you break out of the scud, (as in real life viewing, the BLUE of the higher elevations is prononuced just as it is on board a real-world aircraft, for no pollution to dull it down. Sunsets and sunrises----with the Dynamic Control enabled...Oh yeah!

I haven't been here in a couple of years and I believe my acct. was erased due to inactivity but anyway, I have a SyncMaster 932BW that has the dynamic feature. I will have to try it out, thanks for the tip!

To both you guys, :)You need to run with Dynamic Contrast engaged when using games and the flight sim for about three days straight to allow yourselves time to get used to the heightened color saturation, etc.Trust me on this. You will truly start to appreciate how it reacts to the actual scene being rendered...day, dawn, night time, etc...rather than just one canned contrast for dark and bright scenes.It's quite an enhancement!With the feature/chip turned on---go to a FS9 or FSX menu screen where the screen for the most part is black surrounding the menu box..and you will see before your eyes how the chip drops the contrast so you get vibrant black...with virtually no screen bleed through.That is what is happening at night scenes, cloudy days, wet weather, day/night transitions, etc where contrast needs to change with the scene but up until now, was not being done....:)When quitting any game, I then use the Magic Tune Premium software to go to my custom setting for my desktop, or the Internet setting for when reading upon the Internet. I only use Dynamic Contrast of course then for game and simulation usage.Mitch
