    As the title suggests, my AJ8S seems to have terrible color problems on its external outputs, either VGA or DVI. I have to boost the Blue channel to 120% and cut the green by about 4% to make grays look gray. And i cant get it so it shows all colors accurately. The monitor is fine, it works wonderfully for my other PC, and Ive reset it to factory defaults. Is there any fix for this or is it defective? Id hate to have to ship it to ASUS.. what a PITA.

    thanks.

    I'd try different cables. If that doesn't work and nobody else has any ideas it sounds like you should give ASUS Support a jingle.

    Yeah, I second the cable test suggestion. If that doesn't do it, maybe try reinstalling your drivers to make sure they are ok. Are you using the Asus Splendid Technology Utility at all? That would make it goofy. If none of that works, support it is.

    If you're outputting anything... and the system's own LCD works... and assuming that the monitors you're outputting to physically work as well.... then you have to look at the cables - it's the logical and honestly the most common issue people run into when outputing to an external monitor.

    Right, I will check the cables. I think my driver is the stock driver. But I cant remember for sure, so I will check that also.
