   Oh, probably it does.  Some kind of rocker buttons and other buttons   
   on the back.  Not even a power button on the front.  Newish 24" LCD and   
   I must still have the manual somewhere but dicking around with the   
   buttons was too much trouble when it pretty well worked out of the   
   box.   
      
   If there's a software way to manage the monitor, I don't know about   
   it.   
      
   Yes, I do tell xpdf to use a dimgrey "papercolor". xpdf-3.04 (used   
   because  it can print w/lprng) complains:   
      
   Config Error: Unknown config file command 'paperColor' (/home/mds/.xpdfrc:23)   
      
   but does it anyway. xpdf version 4.03 doesn't complain.
