step one:
open a new tab and type : about:blank

then press F11.........give a few seconds, and your screen should go white. Look carefully, do you see a blue tint? or a pink tint? or is it true white?

Press F11 again to get your normal screen back. Let me know what you saw, and if needed we will make some gamma corrections

Step two:

go to this webpage http://www.blackle.com do the F11 key again, and check for a pink or blue "glow" you should have a true black background, if not we need to adjust your contrast.

step three:

This page is another one that should give you some ideas on your contrast, when things are right you should just barely see the line between each shade of color

step four:

tell me what you saw on these pages

.Well, I can not see the leftmost (column #1) rectangles. AND, 31-32 show no difference. I am thinking I have a bad monitor.

Well, that is what I am thinking too, but dont give up just yet.

I'm not sure what OS you are running, but you may can fix this with a contrast adjustment.

Let me know what version of windows you are running and who made your monitor, and we will see if we can adjust your contrast a little, and you may need to add a little gamma compensation. With a little luck, you'll get another year or so out of your monitor.

Sorry! Dont shoot the messenger!

It does sound like her monitor is going bad, however, I am that we can find that it is just bad settings, if not, and its new, then hopefully her warranty will replace it.

Shoot, if you can return it, then yes return it and have them replace it.

If you have trouble with your new monitor, let me know. (your settings may be off, sometimes computers will self adjust to compensate)
