Samsung 2253BW Color issues
Hey guys,
So I bought the Samsung 2253BW the other day and everything seemed fine for a while. Then I watched a DVD and noticed that some of the bright colors appear red-ish. I thought it was the movie or something so I didn't pay that much attention to it at first. But when I got into Photoshop today I was sure something was wrong. When making a smooth transition (with tablet) from white to black, instead of grey I got red-pinkish colors. As the colors go darker they seem to appear normal all the way down to black. But the bright parts are just wrong. Tried to fix it manually and spent like 2 hours in the menu, but nothing changed.
It's so friggin frustrating, cause I can't make a print screen and compare or show visual proof.
I'm pretty sure it has nothing to do with the rest of my hardware. My previous monitor was Dell 1130, but it just started blinking on and off and changing modes - going into sepia and cold tones. It just got completely mangled. Then I used an old Daewoo for a while, but the colors there seemed to be fine, though I'm not entirely sure, cause it had contrast issues(Geez! Talk about bad monitor history)
I'm using the 7600GS with latest drivers and so on. But as I said - it has to be the monitor.
Any ideas as to what might be wrong?
