    Hey guys,
    I just got a P-6831FX, and am loving the performance, but not liking the monitor so much. As many have pointed out, the blacks never look very black at ALL. What settings in the nVidia control panel (brightness, contrast, gamma...) have you guys found that look the best? Otherwise, I'm loving this thing! Thanks,

    Warner

    40% bright

    25% gamma

    Works nicely for me. Still little too bright, if I reduce any further, the carbon look on FX wallpaper fades to pure black :rolleyes:
