    Hi johnnyman! As a first option, you can try using the calibration wizard built into Windows. That will get you to set your brightness, contrast, and gamma - hopefully that appeals to you in terms of image quality. It's also my understanding that 6500k color setting on the monitor gets you more accurate whites.

    As for "extended display", that has to do with outputting to external monitors. Here's a little more info on it, courtesy of AMD: AMD Eyefinity Technology

    I hope that helps!

    Looks like you have the stock screen and not an upgraded 95% option. I havent seen any one post profiles for the stock screen.
