Question Monitor Settings Dell SP2208WFP

Hello all.

I've just popped over from the photography forums as I need help with my monitor.

I bought the Dell SP2208WFP monitor mainly for my photo editing.

My problem is actually to do with the text on screem. It just doesn't look 'right'. It appears fuzzy and not quite black. Although it looks clearer if I get really close to the screen.

Can anyone give me any tips as I'm a bit of a luddite about such things.

If it helps this are the settings I have

Brightness 62
Contrast 65
Red 95
Green 95
Blue 95

Many thanks

Ryan

The text is clear and the colour is now sorted out.

So far it's the best monitor iv'e seen, when you first get it it does not look that good that's because the settings need changing. Once they have been set right it's a awesome monitor.

Will play BioShock later on see what that's like and connect the PS3 and XBOX 360 to it.
I don't have the monitor so I can't rember if I changed any thing, but try that.
