I agree that the brightness on this monitor is excessive and difficult to adjust. However, based on an earlier link on this thread here:<br />http://www.tftcentral.co.uk/articles/icc_profiles.htm<br />I used the ICC profile and settings provided for the Achieva Shimian Zero-G, it has worked very well for me. I had to adjust the contrast a little more but now I'm pretty happy with it.
