hi
i agree with Jerry (below) that it is a video card driver issue.....
i had similar with a great monitor (still have it) and a win95 pc after
reloading
windows 95b:
the colors were faded (desktop, any program etc...) and there were minimal if
any
options and none to adjust it... (in display properties)
i had to reinstall the drivers and this fixed it!
also you should reseat your video card (older video cards might require this at
times....)
and
as far as monitor drivers: i sometimes use a mac (apple) monitor with win95/98
pcs
with no problem at all (i don't think that older windows versions come with mac
monitor drivers...could be wrong...)
fwiw, i would still be curious how the monitor functions on another pc;
i'd do the above BEFORE returning the monitor
sincerely
Tanya
