Extremely #$@% annoying. Anyone else have this problem?

Anyone else experience this?

It was fastterakorea. I really should have bought from redcap, green-sum or any recommended seller, but I just got the cheapest one at the time.

I will try to contact redcap.

Perhaps that card is struggling a bit? , or maybe you could try rolling back to the 12.4 drivers?
I seem to remember reading somewhere that they fixed problems for some folks.

I unchecked the "automatically detect monitor whenever control panel is opened" in Catalyst Control Panel and the problem went away. It looks like it sent some request to the monitor for info and the monitor just barfed. Still having some weird detection problems - yesterday I did a shutdown and when I later started the computer the screen was blank. I unplugged and replugged in the DVI cable and it worked again. Very weird. Just did a restart though and everything was fine. I ordered a new (longer) cable from monoprice - perhaps its the cable.

Not happy with the colors. What settings are other people with ATI/AMD video using? What tools are you using to calibrate your monitors?

I'm interested in the calibration tools as well?

I discovered Windows has a built-in color calibration program. Very basic, but got decent results. Ended up bringing the contrast down quite a bit.

Hello all, this is a bit off topic but i bought the ipsi version and got no dead pixels just sometimes there is a static like effect where random pixels will blink varopus colors but it goes away if i turn off and back on, My monitor. The dvi cord is plugged in tightly. Other than that the monitor ia GREAT no dead pixels, very little to no light bleed. But thats not really why im here go post, i just wanted to say that playing crysis2 on ultra iis awesome but it is VERY strenuous on the card. Im running teo gtx 570's and im having to overclock them now.

This worked really well for me, got the color looking much better now. If only there were a fix for the light bleed....
