Fortunately, it is perfectly possible to improve the situation by redefining the colors yourself. We found the following to be the optimal settings: green at the default level (87 / 100), but red lowered to 88 / 100 and blue to 75 / 100. This way the colors come out true, though a bit short on brilliance, especially when you want a whiter than white background for an office context. So our wish list for the next Hercules includes more brightness and contrast.
| Color | Darkest shade displayed | Lightest shade displayed |
|---|---|---|
| Gray | 0 | 255 |
| Red | 2 | 254 |
| Green | 0 | 255 |
| Blue | 2 | 254 |
Response time is pretty good, but the image lag is greater than that on the excellent Solarism LM 1503 and Belinea 10 15 35 monitors, based on a Chungwa screen claiming 40ms.
The Prophetview 920 will be out in mid-July. A DVI version should be ready in August.
