Your using a 7 to 8 year old value series monitor and with an Nvidia card... what do you expect? http://www.necdisplay.com/corpus/O/O/XV17+_manual.pdf * Clean your screen. * Clean your eye glasses * Degauss the monitor. * Play with the refresh rates. * Adjust the contrast level (in the dark) based on the test here: http://brighamrad.harvard.edu/research/topics/vispercep/tutorial.html * Buy a new video card. I refuse to buy Nvidia cards for are digital imaging workstations because the 2D quality is crap. A much better choice would be Matrox or ATI. * Buy a new monitor. You monitor is old! I would have moved it to one of the office PCs a few years ago just because of the color shift, you can't properly calibrate monitors that are this old. Start looking for a new 19" CRT in the $200 - $230 dollar price range.
