After finishing my new build my resolution and framerate seem fine (great actually), but the contrast and color seem way off. I've spent hours adjusting the monitor brightness/contrast and used the display calibration utility to create several profiles, however the colors still seem very washed out, and there is little if no black content. I haven't had a chance to test the monitor with another machine, or the machine with another monitor, so it's hard to decide where the problem is.
I selected 1080 display at the multibeast install, and it added this to my org.chameleon.boot.plist:
is the "x32" framerate? or Color mode? The colors seem better when I boot in to the BIOS screen. When I boot in to OS X, it is very bad until I log in and the monitor calibration profile kicks in. Then it is decent, but there is still very little black content.
I suspect the monitor, but want to know if there may be a fix for this before I send it back to Newegg. The monitor is an Acer G226HQL. I have read the reviews and some that claim to have this problem, but others that say there unit looks great.
