Thanks,even the dashboard blades that are yellow and green like dark and dull. I was almost thinking of bringing my xbox into Best Buy and seeing if the Gateway or Samsung 24" look and more coloreful. I measured response time and it is 16-17ms so only 1 frame of lag which I love compared to the 47ms I had on the Samsung 214T. There is so much I like about this monitor, and I am even going to try and get another HDMI cable, but if I don't have vivid or at least normal color I will have to return it to BenQ for a refund. I would give this monitor GLOWING reviews if only the colors Glowed, or had an option in the on screen menu to turn the color up. If you ever played Gears of War you'll know what I mean, everything was just grey and washed out colors. Mirrors and shiny blades of your swords in Devil May Cry or Ninja Gaiden are dull grey, you don't see any of the shine/reflection of them like with my previous monitor or Sony HDTV 40" over HDMI which looks fantastic, but I am sure there is lag and it won't fit on my desktop ;}
