Hi Tom's,

I just built a new rig and it works great for the most part but on my Asus VG248QE when I'm playing games the whites are intensely bright and difficult to deal with.

I've calibrated the display through windows. On the OSD I set it to standard mode and adjusted the settings to what PCmonitors.com said was best.

I've tried lowering the brightness and contrast, I also lowered the gamma. Idk what else to do are the whites just this bad?
