I just received my VP930B from newegg, and in DVI, the screen has a yellowish tint, like someone smoked a bunch of cigaretts and a film developed. The colors are not even close to what they're supposed to be. I can't run any color calbiration as well. I try, but it won't run. Also, when I tried analog (D-Sub), everything had a reddish tint like I described above. Is this monitor defective? Everything else seems to be ok with it. Only other thing I can think of is that possibly the ATI Catalyst control center is preventing proper color display. I have a MSI K8N Neo4 mobo if that helps. I have already received an RMA from Newegg, but I'd really like to get this one working and not have to return it. Also, the same tint thing happens as soon as I see the boot (loading BIOS, etc...) screen. Resolution is 1280X1024 60hz. One thing I did notice which makes me think it's NOT the monitor, is that when I used the menu controls on the monitor, a split second before the screen went black, the display was perfect. I did notice that one the pins on my DVI cable seems to be pushed in, but it seems to be so on both ends of the cord. Just went out and bought a new DVI cord, same problem.
