2007WFP excessive bright - Geforce 3 to blame?

Ok, I have just received Dell 2007WFP monitor today and I'm happy with how sharp the screen is. Much easier to read sharp text compared slightly fuzzy 19".

However, like I had with L1915S with contrast & brightness set to zero! At default setting, 2007WFP is very bright, I have set it to 10% brightness but the white background is still very bright, I guess thats down to contrast ratio. What is your settings?

Not sure if brightness is normal with DVI connection but I suspect it could be my Geforce 3 graphic card? Also it could explains why my L1915S (exchanged a week ago under warranty) is no different to replaced one.

I have mine running through the DVI cable so the contrast setting doesnt show. My brightness is set to 20% and I am running it on a ATI 9800 Pro.

Ok, I might order budget graphic card and see what happens.

I have two 2007WFP, one monitor on DVI with 40% brightness, the one on VGA is on 40% brightness and 50% contrast. I am using a 6600gt.

i got a dell 2007wfp ... very nice monitor ... nice but not overly bright.

my dad has a Samsung 770P and that thing is so bright it's dazzling. The dell is not too strong.
