The colors are all stupid. the blues are too blue and all the same shade of blue. The reds and yellows are real bright and orange. It looks like an old picture tube TV gone bad. I tried the buttons on the front of the monitor but none of them change the color, only the shape and the brightness. Do I need a new monitor? My family is on the computer alot.

How can I setup a computer to display on dual monitors? I am not talking about cloning, I mean to be able to move the mouse from one screen to the other. Be able to click in one, and the application launching in the second screen. Can you explain how it's done, or point me to a URL where it shows how to do it. I have Windows XP. Thanks

The Monitors don't seem to be picking up any signal. Using 2 analog cables with DVI adaptors to hook up to card. Monitors definitely work and Card has power to is.

Any idea why there is no signal. Do i need to go buy 2 DVI cables?
