The brightness adjust on this monitor is quite noticeable, but I find that the contrast setting has almost an insignificant effect in comparison. I'm just wondering if any other L246 owners have noticed the same? Rob

That's what I paid too. I lowered both brightness and contrast to about 55-60 each which seems good. Hmm, I cannot remember which one was brightness and contrast, but the vertical (up/down) button setting made the most difference. The other left/right control seemed to have very little...

I have an LG L246WP which I just bought. Originally I just wanted a fast 22" monitor, but after being seriously disappointed with the Samsung 226wb I knew that a TN flavoured panel was definately not for me. The dell definitely looks nice and I may consider a swap. However this LG works...

What is the difference? Rob

Tonight I returned the 226BW and bought an LG L246WP instead. I looked at other TN panels and they all basically did the same thing, some just more than others. I could not get over the viewing angle shortcomings and it probably would have always bugged me if I had kept it. I really wanted to...

A 22" widescreen is not that much bigger vertically than a 19" 4:3 aspect screen. Like I said in a previous post, I held my (work) 19" lcd and tilted it a lot every way while looking at a titan quest screenshot. Colour shifting was barely noticeable at all (you only see if if you are really...

I have used that profile and it helped with the colours, but the real problem lies in the colour shifting. As another person said, every time you move your head the colour instensity shifts and this is my #1 complaint. Even my cheap (Lenovo L191) 19" (4:3) LCD at work is far better and I think...

Ok, here is what Titan Quest looks like: The colour settings have been tweaked, otherwise yellow looks like the second picture. The first picture is almost straight on view. The second picture is looking *slightly* down. You can see how drastic the colour shift is and how poor it looks...

Sadly, I think you are right about that. The 24" lcd's are considerably more money and I don't feel like spending that much. I will stick with my 2185fpw and although it isn't perfect either, I think it's still much better than the 226BW. Rob

Even slight viewing angle changes can create noticeable differences in picture quality. My chair reclines so every time I lean back the picture starts to darken. Titan Quest looks absolutely terrible on this monitor at stock settings. Even if the settings are adjusted, the picture quality...

I bought a 226BW today and it's the S panel. I *really* want to like this monitor, but I am disappointed by the 'out to lunch' factory settings. I want to plug a monitor in and use it, not mess around with adjusting colours to get it to look like is should out of the box. I was playing Titan...

In regards to the monitor 'locking up' I have never experienced this on my own monitor, but I was able to lock up the demo display monitor at Future Shop. I accidentely tuned it off and on real quick and it froze with the gateway logo showing. To get the monitor working again, it had to be...

Fear shows noticeable gradient banding even on a good CRT. I tried it on my NEC 22 inch CRT and my Gateway LCD. Rob

Thanks :)

I have had the 2185 for about 9 days now and am 'on the fence' as far as returning it. It's not that I don't like the monitor, but I do have a 22 inch NEC Diamondtron CRT so I need to justify this lcd over that. For $200Cdn more, I could order the Dell 2405 and although it's bigger, I don't...
