I almost blamed it on my monitor for the lack of color in the Forums page only to realise that the Format has been changed. Congrats! It sure looks neat. I have a quiry and I hope you guys can help me with it: Till recently I was using a very normal 15 inch monitor bought in 1998. I been longing for bigger screen and I finally ended buying a Samsung TFT SyncMaster 740N few days back. I have always been a firm believer in the fact that new technology does not necessarily mean .... improvement or betterment. Now, I am not complaining , just that I suddenly realise that there is so much to a monitor setting that I am unable to grip it. The Monitor came with 2 softwares.... MagicTune and Natural colors. These were supposed to help me set up my monitor colors etc., They did...... but god, there are so many permutation / combination that I have lost the default setting now. Normally it wouldnt have bothered me much as the current setting I have is very soothing to my half blind eye but..... if I have to work on my photographs it won't do. So the question is: How do I set up my Monitor to a more idea setting?? What should be the Screen resolution for a 17 inch?? How much should be the Brightness and Contrast?? Any other tip that you can give. Thank you. SNAKEY
