| 694096 | 2008-08-01 06:43:00 | ..not really 'techie' enough to be in the F1 threads.... I have an Acer AL1916W 19" and it's all luvely jubbly etc, and it's set to it's maximum and recommended resolution of 1400x900...or similar. However......when I walk around and look at the screen from a sharp angle....just in from looking at the end, everything looks so much nicer and colous are a lot more defined. The colour surrounding this box I'm typing in is presently a VERY pale anemic blue...BUT when I look at it from a sharp angle it's almost a browny-grey. I've just dicked around with the resolutions, which did nothing, so..... .......any ideas how to get the cool colours and clarity without having to turn the monitor to a stupid angle??? TIA :thanks |

| 694097 | 2008-08-01 20:55:00 | Your Graphics card will have something to do with that as well. But Acer in general IMHO is crap, sorry to let you down so gently. | Bantu (52) | ||
| 694098 | 2008-08-01 23:19:00 | :lol: The colours are supposed to look wrong when you view it on an angle!... You should be able to adjust the colour settings in the monitor itself and/or in the video card settings too. do you have the right colour profile loaded for your monitor? |

| 694101 | 2008-08-03 21:37:00 | It's probably using a TN panel (en.wikipedia.org) which are the cheapest & don't cope well when viewed anything other than straight on. All LCD's are not good when viewed at extreme angles, but some panels are better than others - TN being the worst (and most common). |

| 694102 | 2008-08-03 21:53:00 | Well.....it's kindof working. Played around in Display in Control Panel.....mucking around with contrast and gamma settings. Still room for improvement...... :stare: |

| 694103 | 2008-08-03 21:57:00 | Yeah, I've never been very happy with Acer monitors. You have probably got it about as good as you're going to, crank that gamma up! :D |

| 694104 | 2008-08-03 22:51:00 | Changing the settings wont be very useful, since if you move your head to a different angle, it will look wrong again. Not all Acer monitors are bad. The Acer AL2416W and AL2416Ws are good screens, they use S-PVA panels I think. |
