Adjust the contrast too.

sounds a little odd...because these items are pretty much dead nuts centered when it come to the settings...right out of the box.

I would also look for some setting that might have been altered on your video card.

using the "default" setting is always a good place to start from.

I have an AOC 9GlrsA on one of the upstairs machines and it has never been changed once.

Just a periodic degauzing.

Hi,
Alittle time has passed since this post. But I wanted to comment on 3M's AF200XXL. I had to take mine off the monitor because it made it too dark. Their expensive, but can help the eyes. And they get rid of ant glare.
