I have just read the how to do it post on the EVGA 680i forum, I will have
to get some Ceramique.
Try nHancer, you won't be sorry, it unlocks many more adjustable parameters
not available in the standard Nvidia Control Panel. But, be careful, you
must read the manual coz some settings interact with each other and if you
get it wrong it can look dreadful. You also have to get it right in the FSX
option settings.
There is another utility that is pretty good but I will stick with nHancer.
Yes it is a nice monitor but I am stuck with a non Samsung panel and the
backlight leakage stinks. I returned the monitor but the replacement is no
better.
