Hi,

I have an ACER 22'' 16:10 AL2223W and am using it to view 720p digital source via cable and regular DVD via DVD Drive

I have the following options via my monitor menu itself
warm/cool (Warm is more red/ cool is more blue)
contrast
brightness

and thats it.


From my Nvidia 7900gs video card menu, I can also change

brightness
contrass
Gamma
Image Sharpening
Digital Vibrance (wtf?)

---------------

The hard monitor settings from main menu do not do too much, example, max brightness and lowest brightness do not differ that drastically, same with contrast.

Software settings can drastically increase brightness, contrast, etc.

SO when I'm picking around with the best settings for TV, should I put my main monitor settings at the middle or lowest settings and then start doing everything else from software?

Since these Acer's have backlight bleeding issues, I thought it might be good to throw the backlight at its lowest setting and then fake increase the brightness via software to keep good black levels.
