Tft problems...

Ragtimeplayer

I have been having problems with my LG Flatron L1715s tft.

I had it replaced last week after it would not come out of standby and they have today delivered me a supposedly working tft.

I turned it on and the colours are out of sync. It appears to my eye that there is no red value.

I am connecting via a vga to dvi cable and I have reset it to default without any luck.

Can anyone give me any advice as to what might be the problem?

Is it likely to be the cable (brand new) or the monitor?

It was a loose cable

I now have the problem of weird colours, does anyone have a default setup for red/green/blue and contrast/brightness that I can try on my tft as the colours are garish and everything is too bright.

there is usually a factory reset option on the tft setup screen

There is an Auto button on the front of the tft but it is far too light.

Description:
Monitor Calibration Wizard is an easy-to-use tool for calibrating the colors displayed by your monitor. Most monitors have flaws, they may be too dark, too bright, or they may have a color tint like green or blue. All these problems can be easily fixed through Monitor Calibration Wizard.

Features:
Key features of Monitor Calibration Wizard:

* It's free! Who can argue with that?
* Easy wizard for creating color profiles for you monitor. The wizard takes you step-by-step through the process, providing help at every step.
* Help for every screen. If you need on any screen, you can click on the icon to get a detailed description of what you can do on the current screen.
* Support for an unlimited number of profiles. For people who use more than one monitor with their computer, you could create a custom profile for each monitor. The same goes for gaming. Many games are set in very dark environments where a brighter profile can help you see the campers sitting in the dark corners
* A profile brightness adjustment is available at the end of the wizard to allow you to adjust the overall brightness of the color profile to match your needs.
* Monitor Calibration Wizard can load a custom color profile when Windows starts so you never have to load your profile every time you start Windows.
* Monitor Calibration Wizard provides a persistent profile option that enforces your profile to prevent other programs from changing the color profile Windows uses. This is especially important to gamers as most games will change the color profile Windows uses. This not only gives you a uniform look throughout your games, but also keep the profile after you exit any program that changes the color profile used by Windows.
* Provided is a "fix" to override driver level color correction used by some software. This way you can still enjoy the benefits of Monitor Calibration Wizard even when running these programs.
