591895 2007-09-28 10:33:00 UPDATE. Had to go back 7 pages to retrieve this. Time flies !!!

Well we were given a Compaq FP7317 17" LCD Monitor. We plugged it in & it worked straight away, it didn't ask for drivers or anything.

The only query I have is that the screen colour is Ivory & not White like the CRT monitor.

Is this the normal colour? Or can we change it to White. I looked for this model on the Internet & found a setup manual, Could not get White tho'. Any ideas? Thanks PJ

Probably your best bet is to play with the brightness and contrast control.
After that, you may need to adjust the "temperature" of the display. A "cooler temperature" will make the display look more 'blue'. A "warm temperature" will make it look more 'red'. Mostly you will want to stick with the middle setting (usually 6500K I believe). Failing that, you can have a play with the individual RGB colour values.

You probably won't get it perfect however. most reasonably priced LCD don't give as 'pure' a white as a CRT will due to (I think) the backlight that is used.
