I'm using the Dell 2005FPW display. The thing is overly bright, and I have the brightness control scaled down to 20% from the factory setting of 100%. I'm using DVI. All other adjustments such as brightness, gamma, contrast etc are being made through the video card display controls.
With my old ATI Radeon 9800Pro AIW, and ATI's latest drivers, I was able to tweak the image settings to an acceptable level where there wasn't an over-saturation of white, colors looked warm and vivid, and nuances of various GUI's were evident. It wasn't as good as my CRT, but I was getting used to it and well on the path of "good enough".
I installed the nVidia eVGA 7800GS card last night and am using the drivers/display control bundled in the software disc. I spent hours last night trying to find a good or even acceptable blend of brightness, contrast, gamma and color depth on this thing, and I just can't get it to look as good as I could with the much older ATI card. The only thing I haven't done is download the latest drivers from nVidia, i plan to try that tonight. It still suffers from wash-out in certain GUIs.
Is it possible that ATI's drivers are that much better than nVidias?
Is anyone here using the 2005FPW on DVI and nVidia drivers and has found the perfect balance as far as image quality in all applications?
Finally, are there any other programs that allow an even greater control of the display settings than are available from nVidia?
thanks...
