the bios setting needs to be RAID, then when you next boot you'll see the Intel RST screen - at that point press ctrl-i and you'll go into it.

I sent my Dell back after a few days it was so bad, my HP I've had for months.

no, my 2475 has perfect text - probably the best I've seen on an LCD monitor (and I've had a fair few!).

Another idea I just had - make the "black bars" the same colour (and maybe even design if it's fancy) as the bezel. That would be quite cool.

The only solution for the poor lambs who's eyes bleed when they see a black bar is a dynamically resizable display - which is never going to happen.

An ICC profile is a little file that basically describes the colour profile of your monitor and allows programs to map colours accurately. Firefox can read them, and you can load them on boot into your graphics card LUT using something like LutLoader (search this thread for that word).

Mine came with DVI, VGA-DVI and DisplayPort. It may also have come with an HDMI but I cannot remember and the box is in the attic.

energy saving control panel applet has settings for this in Vista.

First of all, whack the brightness down to around 10, that will give the desired 120cd/m2. Secondly, of course the reds are oversaturated - this is a wide-gamut monitor. Without a proper hardware calibration being performed this will be the case. As for text, mine looks fine, but you need...

As others have said, the profiles floating around this thread and tftcentral will give you adequate results.

ecat: are you using firefox with colour management enabled? In that case you will see banding which is a natural side effect of colour space conversions (mapping sRGB onto aRGB).

Also, that contrast ratio would only be possible if it was eye-searingly bright, which isn't required for a monitor.

even cheaper on eBuyer at the moment, £380 inc vat and delivery! :eek:

TV's tend to be much brighter than monitors, as long as you can dial it right down to 120cdm^2 you should be fine.

And the problem with that monitor is that for some reason NEC refuse to sell it outside North America.
