Pivoting And Color/Gama Software For P650
I've just bought an lcd monitor, Dell 2005fpw, and will be using the
dvi connector to the P650 AGP. Since there are few control options in DVI with this monitor, is there software I can download from Matrox that will give me color gamma control while using DVI? Does Matrox have any landscape/portrait pivot software available? Thank you... |

Thank you... -- As I guess that the P650 and Parhelia drivers are same, the answer is positive -- after installing the latest version for your P650, the pivoting feature is accessed in the Monitor Adjustment section - Adjust Orientation. As to the color gamma control, if you're looking for your LCD monitor color profile, it should be included with the software or available for download at Dell's. For the color gamma control, some third party utilities can handle this as well. Edi Zubovic, Crikvenica, Croatia |

Edi Zubovic, Crikvenica, Croatia I was reading the Matrox.com newsgroup before I bought the monitor, and read a post that said there was no pivoting software included with the p650 and I thought the post was from a Matrox tech. So I didn't bother to explore the utility for the relevant software. So thank you for the reply and pointing me in the right direction. Because the monitor's OSD doesn't present the option to adjust the contrast I decided to try PowerStrip which works well in reducing the brightness, gamma, especially when viewing web pages.

Here's the url if you're interested: http://www.entechtaiwan.com/util/ps.shtm -- You're welcome! -- As to pivoting feature, I've got along with my Samsung monitor (213t) a program for that. In that times, approx. a year and half ago, there wasn't no pivoting feature included in Matrox Powerdesk yet, indeed. But they added the feature later and yes, this is far more convenient. Yes, Powerstrip is one of very useful utilities! Sometimes such software is a must if you're at DVI which, apart of brightness, hardly lets you control anything. But for the most part, nothing is needed, too. Edi Zubovic, Crikvenica, Croatia |
