I think I am about to be very mad as a monitor I just bought a few months back is not acting right. A Dell 771p 19 inch. It looks great as long as it is dark lines/graphics on a light background. When a picture with light lines/graphics on a dark background is there the contrast is TERRIBLE! The vertical potions of the text actually disappear! The higher I set the color resolution, the worse it gets. Games like BG aren't bad because they have in game contrast sliders. Cut scenes are nearly invisible. Anyone had a problem like this with a monitor? Is it worth fixing? I guess I could try to get a replacement from the place I bought it, but shipping both ways will be almost as much as the monitor costs! Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!
