First of all I'm a newbie and since this is my first message I want to
say hello to everyone.
I got an lcd monitor as a present which is Dell E156FPb. I was a CRT
monitor user and I have to say I'm not satisfied with the visual
quality of this lcd. I tried monitor calibration tools but couldn't get
the comfortable view from it. There's no gamma control in OSD menu
(only brightness and contrast) and the monitor is using analog cable to
connect. My graphics card is Nvidia 7600GS, I've also tried tweaking
from graphic cards but my problem persists. The colours are much better
than the crt monitor but the problem is contrast, brightness and gamma.

I can't balance them(I think). I was wondering if there is anyone using
this monitor and could give me an advice or perhaps telling me the
optimal settings for these. Or maybe someone having any suggestions?
Please don't tell me to buy an hardware calibrator because they're too
expensive=)
Thanks in advance

P.S My English may not be so good, I tried me best...

Did the monitor come with a "drivers" CD?
If so, install them

No, I am not joking. Read the following sig. (the portion after
the "-- " marker) and the referenced URLs. Then read the following

Ok I got your point now. I am a newbie and I think that is obvious from
my posts. Thank you for your support.

Much better. You still need to learn to snip.
