The vid card on this box isn't good enough to show it. But this box has a nVidia Vanta. :p

Nico: That's normal. Normally there's too much reflection on the display anyway :rolleyes:

I think you need a new monitor.

Heh in the last days of my old monitor I couldn't see anything below $RGB 50,50,50 - WITH gamma correction(!).

I'm really glad I have my new preciouss....

I can only see the little square at rgb 50,50,50  The other ones are black.  The box below it that's supposed to be comprised of two colors is completely black to me.

Use the gamma correction in your video card drivers- put it up untill you see at least four of them. (down to 15,15,15)

This should help (but not look as good as a decent monitor) - but I suggest you change that monitor at any cost.

But my problem is, windows switches back to the old profil as soon as I use a fullscreen D3D or OpenGL game.

It's a hassle if you want to do high res maps. (Makes it harder to compare the ingame look with the map.)

if you're serious about monitor calibration beyond just gamma, I have a full color calibration spread that I made for my photo editing

This is the most beautiful thing I've ever seen on my monitor. *Weep*
I can't go home again until I find a stone a rose a door.
Choo choo, and that is the truth.

Cripes, that is excellent. The look is spot on. Keep that in mind for the other similar styled Terran ships.

Excellent :)

I have no idea how to get into gama correction in the card.  There's no setting for that in the settings or advanced tab.  It's a work monitor so I'm not about to request a new one because a picture was too dark :p

I'm sure the pictures are nice though :(

The hull should be a bit more reflective, I think.

And try to smooth out the edge on the missile pod, by shoothing the shinemap in this part.

The texture is good. :)
