I'm using Windows 95b. There is a way to make the color more red or whatever you want. I
remember there is a way to save more than one setting. There is no adjusment on the
monitor itself to do this. The monitor is an HP mx705. It's a Dell PC. I forgot how to
make these adjustments and had no luck with Google.

Thanks.

What are the control buttons on the front of the monitor for? How
about looking into Control Panel, Display, and the graphics card
controls?

Click on Start, then go into Settings, then Control Panel. Double click on the Display
icon. Is there a tab in the box that opens for color? That's where you would be able to
change the color properties.

I don't see a tab like that. When I was able to adjust the color I had a different hard
disk. I'm starting to wonder if the problem is with the drivers I'm using. They may be
different from the ones I had on the other hard disk. Thanks.

Are you sure you have the correct video card driver (what does it say in
Device Manager) and that your monitor connection to the computer is solid
(not loose or crimped funny)? Did your old monitor look good? If so, then
you probably just have a poor or defective monitor.

I adjust with a ColorVision Spyder2 Pro.

I process a lot of photos for printing. This is worth it's weight in gold.

Yes the drivers are correct. Device manager says STB Velocity 128. The cable looks
reasonable straight and the connection is tight.

Yeah my old monitor looked fantastic, an aperture grille Iiyama. I'm sure my monitor is
the problem. Thanks.

Thanks. I'll check it out. At this point I'm wondering if color adjustment will even help
much. The colors are so washed out I can't imagine anything making them look like they
should.

hi,
have you tried the new monitor on another machine?
and
have you tried your old monitor on the dell again?
and
do you have display properties at all?
(control panel-> display ->dbl click)
what options do you have-- any?
and if you right click the desktop and choose properties?
if you have an option to increase resolution try it...

In a store and not bundled with a system, the more common
monitor brands such as ViewSonic, NEC, etc., should ranked
significantly better than HP. Of course, one thing to always
do with monitors is to test their suitability not under store
lighting but in the actual work environment. And if the store
does not carry name-brand monitors, find the stores that do.

for chirst's sake will you just go out and buy a quality monitor! they
exist so get off your duff and look. you've writtten books in here about
this no brain decision. for somebody mired in a ten year old OS (Win95b?!,
barf!) you are spending far too much time agonizing over this.

and load the damn drivers for the monitor like you're supposed to! and the
latest video card drivers too! though given the state of the art system you
got there who knows if a decent monitor will want to be seen with you!

Did you load these on your system? (W98 should work)

hi,
another thing to look at (imho) is the BIOS settings (likely not useful BUT...)
not sure what bios you have but under 'video configuration' (under 'advanced') are some
settings for video cards...
i don't see whether your video card was changed (or whether the card's an issue).... but
perhaps changing the settings in the BIOS might help (the settings explain what they're for)
(make sure before changing anything that you write down what it was before changing)
again i'd FIRST see whether your new monitor is a lemon by trying it on another pc.... also
try the old monitor on the dell again...
