HP W2207

Hi. I am new to this forum I have the HP 22 inch W2207. It is a very nice monitor, but some things tick me off about it. So, far the past few days since I bought the monitor, the monitors image settings were at default.

Today, I taught to myself "Call Of Duty 4 doesn't look right, it looks too dull". So I change the setting from "custom" to "movie". I swear to GOD it looked awesome. The colors were so right. It felt like putting your glasses on, you could see so much more clearly.

After getting all excited because the monitor look SOOOOOOOOOO much better, I quit to desktop and opened up Firefox. Wow. It looked HORRIBLE. The blues were very bad. Links had an almost purple tint to it. The colors were just pretty bad. Text was blurry.

I am pretty sad/mad while I type this. Is there anyway to make it look better, or atleast be able to change the image settings through the monitor's menu over an over again after I quit the game? Thanks in advance

Calibrate your monitor so it looks bearable at desktop and ok on games. That's my only suggestion. I can't stand using anything but TEXT or Custom presets. All the others make the screen too bright so if feels like you've kranked your gamma to the max etc.

I highly don't recommend using the other presets. The MOVIE-preset is "ok" in SOME movies, I admit it. But usually it's just so bright it hurts my eyes.

And the halo/tint around letters is very common in desktop use. Just use the TEXT or Custom settings aster you've calibrated them to your liking.

I'm overall 50/50 disapointed/pleased with this monitor. Lots of backlightbleed, strange halo and white borders on somewhere. Sigh. I guess it's just the TN:n fault :/

And to make the pain easier to accept, you can make different preferences for each use for your monitor. ie DESKTOP, Games, Movies. Then you just pop them from the HP Mydisplay-thingie and after few secs you are done. No need for even touch you monitor.

Alright thanks Is there anyway I can make some sort of macro to change this easily with a click of a button or something? Thanks.
