Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.
The stock settings are waaaaaaaaay to bright. I don't understand and I can't imagine how someone could possibly tollerate it! Especially at sRGB.
With a DVI link, I'm using 9300K, With the brightness turned down quite a bit. Also, I'm using a gamma of 88 and the brightness of 98% on the nVidia display settings. Even so, the monitor seems still quite bright, but tollerable. I guess I'm just not used to a LCD, ccomming from an incredibly dark CRT.
