Question regarding Radeon9100 and new monitor

I recently bought a Lcd monitor and have changed the resolution that i
normally run my monitor at to 1024x768 from 800x600 and have noticed that
when i look at the pictures that i have on the computer that the colors
seem a little "washed" out ,, the pics aren't as clear as they were.

If you look at a picture of someone's face it appears as they have a skin
condition (that's the only way i can describe it , sorry) but with the old
crt monitor it was crystal clear.


What can i do to rectify this ?? Is there some adjustment that can be made
in the video cards software??

Thanks ,


Gord

LCD monitors are meant to be run at higher resolutions so bump it up and see
what picture you get.

I've bumped it up to other resolutions and still have the same
discoloration on the pictures ,,, it's noticalble on ,say, landscape
pictures ,, but really noticable on pictures of people's skin.

Have you tried the color adjustment buttons at the bottom of the screen??
Your user manual that came with the LCD should explain how they work.

Oh yeah , that was the first thing ,, but i got playing around with the
gamma settings and it seems to be the adjustment that i'm needing to make
to get everything in synch.
