Ah ok- I have tuned it for zero-level blacks. Yeah, his was an IPS. I wasn't all that impressed, really. I commented on how low its frame latency was, but I didn't talk about how blurry things still were. LCD pixels just can't keep up with 240Hz where it matters for little details. But alas, I was more focused on having fun with LAN than talking about displays.
Yea, I think it may be G1 voltage (which I think exists for each gun, based on service manual).Not sure what you're talking about in regards to the G2. I don't think there's a separate G2 for any of the guns. That's the grid 2 voltage for the tube. Are you thinking of something else? (It *has* been awhile since I've done any WinDAS WPB's
That would be awesome if you can figure it out. I thought when I bought this monitor back in 2004 , its a refurb G520k SGI , paid i think 400.00 , anyway upon bootup it was not as bad, or it looked grayish on warmup. I maybe wrong though . I really have not used it since 2007 and has been sitting in my basement for that many years. It survived one move so I do not think it is damaged. although capacitance with the capacitors has me concerned now . The monitor looks fine after 20-30 min though,
If the problem is intermittent there's a chance it's just a bad solder indeed. But there's no warranty at all this is the case, it can also be the IC dying (which, sometimes, can also be fixed by the resoldering heat). The problem might also not be located direcly on the IC, but on the power supply path to this IC (again, bad solder or bad component).
With your setting is black really zero-level when you display OSD?Ah ok- I have tuned it for zero-level blacks. Yeah, his was an IPS. I wasn't all that impressed, really.

The point of zero-level blacks is for the cases where there is indeed enough black space for light-bleed to not drown it out as much. Sure, not all that common, but very noticeable in the instances where it is the case.
True. ANSI contrast would definitely not be that good. But, not all images look like an ANSI checkerboard, so the huge potential contrast of 3400:1 can really help.
3400:1 sounds like very reasonable setting. At what maximum luminance is that?
I have almost 100cd/m2 at contrast 77
ok ok maybe not zero, but a response time of the speed of light can be close enough. 
Hahahaa, me too.This made me giggle:
“GtG response times of under 5ms are OK for gaming, though you really want to be at 1ms. Clearly, a zero isn’t possible with current technology so don’t expect that. Or believe anyone that claims it.”

The technology IS here. It’s called a CRT.
That reminds me, Ashun recently published a great video on LCD response times: 
Well, I noticed windows making that sound like when a new device is connected "plum plum" continuously when my screen was in standby mode or shut down but the computer still running with that adapter. I didn't dig much further since I couldn't really point out what that was, it stopped when I turned the monitor on to check.
Thanks.
Yeah but I had the exact same error even on my Windows XP Machine so I suppose the Version when you made this tutorial didn't have this maybe also try the linux method but my main PC is Windows hope a cal file from linux is usable on Windows
I see what you mean. I'll keep the link you gave me, although, it is quite expensive... I'll be searching on my own as well, and see what I can find. And if I don't find anything, I'll consider it. Thanks for taking your time to do some research for me, I appreciate that <3
Too bad, these cards are nowhere to be found ...
There are some especially good (high DAC pixel clock) DP to VGA dongles that are USB C instead of full displayport. There are full displayport options that are just as competent. But, there are less of them, and they seem to be out of stock more often than the good USB C options.
