From: davids58 on 13 Sep 2006 01:18 I've now got two Dell P1110 monitors: 1 - Original 2 - Just purchased used I'm using them side-by-side and I'm struck by how much brighter #2 is than #1 even though it looked just fine in the home where I bought it. Both are set to the same DPI setting, using the same adapter, and driver. Even when WinXP is booting, the black screen looks much brighter on #2. In addition, the text looks pretty bad on #2 even though it looked fine when I bought it. Can someone clue me in on the adjustments I need to make to #2 to synch up with #2 and to improve the text quality? TIA, David

From: davids58 on 13 Sep 2006 10:01 Nope. I used the same cable I had with my old (second) monitor. Might that be the problem?

The link in the referenced article (http://www.hutzelman.com/home/hardware/mods/monitor/) doesn't work. Any clues?
