Nance yep. I adjusted my settings and can see the bars now. As you said everything apears washed out and bright. I have a expensive pro monitor, I'll have to check into the gamma curves, their is tons of menus in my monitor dunno if I have that. the plus is even with the washed out and bright, I checked a lot of images that were very dark to me befor, and now I can see what's going on in scenes, and background details I could not see before. I guess I'll take the radiation this 21" is throwing off now.
