Monitor adjustment?

I just bought a new 21" IBM P260 for a low low $100, and I'd like to know how to calibrate it. When I started up, the normally black DOS screen was quite blue. What sites/programs can I use to make my monitor display good color? Thanks.
 
it shoulda came with some software or something to help explain it
or the book maybe
mine has a push button menu to adjust things
but there are also programs that can adjust contrast/brightness/gamma etc

good luck
 
Black screen looks blue? Wow, that is weird. Black should be black on all CRT -- no electron hitting the screen will give you black. Don't know how could it be possibile.

Some suggestion though:
1. adjust the color temperature. this affects the "color" of white area.
2. increase the contrast to 100% and decrease the brightness so that the black area as dark as possible. this affects the lightness, but not the color.
3. adjust gamma (I use Adobe Gamma loader, which comes with Photoshop. Don't know whether it is downloadable or not.) This affects the color of mid-gray area.

If none of these works, well, you know you can't expect too much from a $100 21" monitor 😉

Used refurb, no documentation.

Mine does too, I'm just not expertise on using it. PITA.

Know any good ones?
