I have the 2070SB, it's a very good monitor, it calibrates superbly but really it's only usable to 1600x1200 due to gamma shifts (which is true of most aperture grille type monitors of this size). Install the Naviset software and you can then easily trim the monitor settings from the system desktop (assuming that you have a compatible card). I can provide my calibrated settings which won't be perfect for your particular monitor but should get you in the ball-park. -- Rob Studdert HURSTVILLE AUSTRALIA Tel +61-2-9554-4110 UTC(GMT) +10 Hours [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://picasaweb.google.com/distudio/PESO http://home.swiftdsl.com.au/~distudio//publications/ Pentax user since 1986, PDMLer since 1998 -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
