I still haven't received the monitor so i can't try

There were two profiles on TFT Central. One was from them and the other was from a user.
Actually, the recommended settings for brightness, contrast, gama, etc made everything look very dark and washed out.

After that, my Spyder 4 Elite finally showed up and I did my own calibration. It took almost 40 minutes to complete and I did not even do the advanced part.
All I can say is, what a difference. Much better at least for me. I plan on doing another calibration with the room lights turned up.

I also use the DisplayProfile.exe program that TFTCentral mentioned to quickly switch between all three profiles. My new calibration and the two from their database. Now when I switch between all three, the two from TFTCentral both look too bright with too much color.

I am sure everyone has different ideas about what looks good to them but I will attach my own calibration here if someone wants to try it.
You can get the other two from their website. Asus PB278Q.zip 2k .zip file

I had to zip the Asus PB278Q.icm file to be able to attach it.

Next to calibrate my Asus VG278HE, Viewsonic VX2835wm, and my Samsung 40 inch.

It is absolutely driving me nuts that this monitor is temporarily OOS at Amazon.

Anyone know if the display port is properly aligned on this monitor?

Most displayport plugs (if i am not mistaken) have a small tab you need to push in if you want to detach the cable.
Other monitors I've tried like the Auria 2560x1440 @ MicroCenter have the port flipped in such a way that it is incredibly difficult to remove the DisplayPort cable.

I am wondering if I should bite the bullet and order from CircuitCity/TigerDirect. I am afraid of shipping damage and the monitor coming with dead/stuck pixels due to mishandling.

Los Angeles California, Newegg is an option by they charge tax. Lots of it

I know they have a will call option, but I'd prefer not to go that route unless I had to.

Right, I forgot about skipping tax by ordering on line. I'm in Canada where there is tax either way. Still, the tax on a $700 monitor is under $50? For the $50 I think I'd still want to be able to walk into a Brick and Mortar store and have the chance to see the $700 monitor before I bought it. It'd be worth the $50 to me to know that I won't have hassles (and expenses) down the line. If you trust Asus QC though, then yeah, I can see where you'd order one from tiger or somewhere.

I've used this headset extensively for MAG on PS3. The sounds were wonderful, the mic was crisp, and the ability to adjust peoples voice volume is absolutely invaluable. For $100 ( or less ) this...

The Pros The reason this card is one of the better non-Tahiti 7870s is because of Gigabyte's custom PCB. Gigabyte took the 7870 and replaced it's memory chips with Hynix memory so they perform a...
