Hi

Well after using a Sony E400 with my Radeon 9800pro the monitor started to get real bright, black was no longer black it was a washed out grey, it got so bad that even with the brightness on 0 black was like a light grey.
So thinking the 3 year old Sony had just gone bad I get me a new Samsung monitor, now 2 weeks later im starting to see the same thing happen to this monitor, ive had it 2 weeks and allready its starting to lose blackness, seems I have to keep dropping the brightness ever few days to keep a true black. Even on 0 now its not true black.

Is it the video card doing this? Is there a known problem with the 9800pro?

Thanks
 
What drivers are you using? I believe there was some problem with th 3.8's(or maybe it waas 9's), but it wasnt related to brightness.
 
I have always stayed current with Cat drivers, its definately a hardware issue with the card. I just hope they will fix or replace the card. Its a year and 3 months old.
 
if it is the card you might be able to get them to refund the lost money on the monitor too :thup:
