Monitor Problems

[Siddhartha Gandhi]

I recently resetted to factory settings for my Dell LCD 17" flat panel
monitor to fix a problem in which the screen was too big. That problem
is now fixed, except now my monitor's color settings are totally
screwed up. I asked friends and used their settings, but none of them
look right. I had a very bright screen, but when i put 100 all for RGB
it appears bluish. What setting should I use?

The brightness control should be used to adjust this setting. Use the on-screen control buttons on the front of the monitor.

I do use that. There is no brightness control. The only thing that
seems to work is the RGB. There is no contrast control either.

i put RGB on normal and put the brightness to high and it looks normal

Great! Glad you got the problem sorted.

The controls on my monitor are so confusing. They have a menu, and they
should stick brightness and contrast in that menu, but they dont.
Instead, they put brightness and countrast as the minus button, which i
never press unless im in the menu. So its a really messed up UI.
