   I don't see anything in the Display Properties. The controls on the front of   
   the monitor   
   are for brightness, contrast,  moire, degauss and adjusting the shape of the   
   picture like   
   pincushion, trapezoid, etc. There's also something called color temperature. I   
   changed it   
   from 9300 to 6500 and it makes a big difference but the color still doesn't   
   look right.   
   It's still washed out. The colors are very dull. Not rich at all. I might   
   return this   
   monitor and get an LCD since all CRTs that I can find are crap. It will be   
   worth the 15%   
   restocking charge. Have you ever used software that is supposed to calibrate   
   your monitor?   
   I don't know anything about them or even what they do. I'll have to read about   
   it. Thanks.
