Is his an ATI issue ?

I had been running a GeForce 3 card for years with several different brands
of monitors. I recently sold the system and bought a Sony that uses a
Radeon x300 card and added a new Sony 19 inch LCD monitor ( SDMHS95P)



The first monitor seemed awfully blue and uneven in all settings and I
returned it for a second unit which has almost the same symptoms. I have
adjusted it to a usable level but I am concerned it could be the video card.
I never had this issue with NVIDIA and am wondering if this type of problem
can be attributed to the card versus the monitor. PS -the two monitors came
form warehouses very far apart and weren't in the same production run.



How can I resolve this ? IS it the card or jus the way the monitor it ? I
don't use this for gaming so I was considering a GeForce 660 .



TIA.

Doesn't the MONITOR have adjustments for color temperature? Have you tried
a color temperature around 5000 K?

6500 is the closest and stilltoo blue. This is a Sony that in this mode is
supposed to be self adjusting.

In a room lit by incandescent lamps, 6500 K seems too blue to me also. I
find 5000 K about right for a variety of lighting (though once your eyes
adapt, in the absence of other temperature lighting, 'white' seems 'white'
at most any color temperature lighting.

A setting of 6500 K is equivalent to a slightly overcast day (slightly bluer
than standard daylight); you might want to set this color temperature
manually to something lower like 5000 K (a bit lower than standard
daylight.). Standard tungensten lamps are ~ 2800 K, a quartz-halogen lamps
are ~ 3200 K, and a cloudy day is ~ 20,000 K. The 'self adjusting' setting
likely means that a color profile (from the monitor installation package) is
selected in the display properties.

Is the color variation a repetitive pattern? If so, have you read the
manual and followed the directions for clearing up that symptom?
