Im having a hell of a time getting this to look right. Blacks arent deep. Things look washed out. I dont have access to hardware calibration nor am i going to buy one. Can anyone help me, post their settings which i can try out?
 
Here's what I use on my two FP241WZ's
(Keep in mind this what I use with my rooms lighting...... YMMV)

CONTRAST = 50
BRIGHTNESS = 10 (up to 30)
PICTURE MODE = Standard
RED = 52
GREEN = 49
BLUE = 50
 
I have a FP241WZ and also just purchased Samsung 275T. I found FP241WZ's original color setting is much better than 275T's. 275T seems a bit too red (warm) and the colors look very artificial.
 
Weird thing....Tried 50 Contrast, 30 Brightness. Things looked still pretty washed out, no deep blacks, etc. Then i opened up CCC (Catalyst Control Center) and as soon as it loaded up, my screen looked perfect, deep blacks, rich colors, goodnesss. I didnt even touch one setting on CCC, didnt click anything. So i was happy. Then i open up CCC to check something the other day, and same thing happens. I open it up, dont click anything and my screen goes back to the washed out variety again.

Any help?
 
I've fixed it. In CCC i had PC black/white levels selected instead of Microsoft MCE black/white levels. I clicked MCE and now all is well
