I wonder if the 1080p over VGA update solves the washed out colour issues that some folk, yours truly included, are having... I've gone back to component in the meantime.

I had to play around with the hidden FACTORY settings on my Dell 2405, My VGA connection @ 1920x1080 was washed out and too grey for my likeing but now it looks absolutly beautiful and as good as the component cables

Come next week when my 360 HD drive turns up its go go go for some sweet 1080p movie action

Can you give us a clue on what to do to fix it then?

1st switch the monitor off and hold down "Menu" and "+" then switch the monitor on, access the OSD and minus down to FACTORY RESET and select it minus down to the "Factory" setting and select it and your in.

BE WARNED.......messing with these settings can screw your monitor into oblivion and no i aint joking.

All i did was change my Offset 2 numbers to R0 G0 B0

Write down all the defaults in case you need to change back before doing anything.

So does this little exercise affect all inputs or just the VGA? I don't want to muck my component up.

All i know is that it hasn't affected my DVI signal and i havent gone back to component since the change so i cant say

Interesting... The Offset 1 and 2 selections are greyed out on DVI and cannot be changed. Just changed offset 2 to 0,0,0 as you say in VGA and what a difference it makes. The colours do look much better now.

Perhaps the offset values only affect VGA. I will have to plug my PS2 in to component and see if the values are different under that input.

Cheers! I'm sorted!
