A point: you will need to drop the gamma for the monitor (Personal

comfortable with -- I went down to 0.70 gamma -- because the screen is
*too* bright :-( . Also, select sRGB colour rather than the default
6500K to get "proper" colours. Finally, use the digital connection to
get better picture but bear in mind that with digital connection you
lose 2 monitor controls because they are not needed (read the User
Manual on disc).
I don't suggest changing gamma. All monitors have a gamma of 2.3, and
all graphics systems (including web sites) rely on that. If you change
the gamma value, stuff typically looks horribly broken.
BTW - most times monitors say that gamma is 1.0 if in fact it is 2.3
8-/
The 1.0 gamma that I am referring to is the value shown as the standard
in Suse and not the monitor - the monitor shows no gamma value at all.
The ViewSonic widescreen is just too bright for normal viewing. With a
white screen like when viewing this page I can light up the rest of the
house - and the house next door :-) .
Cheers.
