Been a while since I posted here, but hi!
Anywho, I purchased a BenQ FP202w a while back as my first widescreen monitor, and I was pretty damn impressed with it, so I decided to order another one on Newegg about a week ago. However, this was BenQ's new FP202w V3 version. I figured it would be a better choice due to the 5ms panel and the newer model, so I went ahead and purchased it. Well lo and behold the thing gets here, and this is what I get:
Now, it may seem minor in the shot, but the left display (the FP202w V3) is slightly darker and hints at bluish grayness on everything, making all colors much worse looking in comparison with my older FP202w. I've tried eyeballing settings in the nVidia control panel and playing with the monitor's menus, but have had no success in making it look much better in comparison with my old FP202w (on the right). Now I'm thinking I may need to buy an entry level calibration package (Something like this) in order to get things looking right.
Could something actually be wrong with my monitor, or am I just eyeballing settings wrong? Any and all help or suggestions on what to purchase would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
