I am having trouble calibrating my monitor. When using online calibration tools such as this one http://www.displaycalibration.com/color_depth.html no matter what I do I can't seem to make the color steps evenly spaced. On the right side there is very clear distinction between the darker colors, but on the left side I can barely even tell the difference between the colors. It seems like no matter what settings I change I cannot get it to show a distinction between those colors... Any ideas? I have an asus vh226h |

That's a lousy chart. This site will serve you much better: http://www.lagom.nl/lcd-test/index.php If you still can't see a difference, turn your brightness down a bit. If you have individual color channel modifiers, use them. |

Actually I think I got it. I noticed "saturation" was greyed out. But this monitor has several presets and in "normal" mode the saturation isn't available. I switched to "game" mode and the colors look a lot better after messing with saturation. That site does help a lot too, especially with gamma, thanks. |

Generally you'll want to set your monitor to the standard mode and work from there. All these different "modes" are generally just camouflage for a poor panel. There should be exactly two modes. PC mode and Movie mode. The later being set for the compressed RGB values of DVDs and a lower ambient light level. The movie mode should get almost no use as your DVD software should handle it natively. But I suppose it would be nice to have just in case. Once properly calibrated, your display should look excellent no matter what is on screen; be it games, text, or movies. |

Calibrize can also be a useful program. |
