It has "warm," "cool" and "user" settings.  Under "user" you can control 
RGB quantities (0-100).  As you can probably tell, I don't know a lot 
about this.  Anyway, Warm looks better than Cool and I can't find a good 
way to adjust RGB that improves on Warm.  I did this before writing to the 
list for the first time so nothing in my review changes yet.

I think the basic problem is that I cannot make the monitor brighter.  If 
I could make it brighter, then I think I could do RGB color adjustments 
and get somewhere.  But as it is, I have to turn down RGB from 100% each 
and that dims the picture.

Given that it's 1280x1024 and I'm using DVI (probably very important), I 
rate it a 10 on text sharpness, because it seems to be perfect.  For 
color, I rate it a 7.  I don't have a good idea of what 10 and zero are 
like, but I think 7 expresses my feelings pretty well!  ;-)
