You can download ICC display profiles and they "can" look alright, however it is usually better to do it yourself.

If you don't have a hardware display calibrated, like the X-Rite i1 Display Pro 2, then I would recommend you use a software display calibrated that I use and usually achieve decent results. It's called QuickGamma and it's quite good.

Available here >> http://quickgamma.de/indexen.html <<

Thanks ill try it

@TheNinjaNextDor, If you want to try a calibrated display profile, a good site is TFT Central. Here's the link to their calibrated ICC display profile page >> http://www.tftcentral.co.uk/articles/icc_profiles.htm <<.

You will want to use the settings they used in their OSD in your OSD to get the best results.

Ahh, so TN monitors then, you don't like IPS or VA?

I actually love them! It's just I bough these monitors a long time ago and they didn't have the options they do now :( I'm in need for an upgrade..

I love it the only thing I dont like is some games don't like 21:9 and either won't go to the resolution or the menu is only 16:9 other than that gaming is amazing and so is multitasking because the screen is so wide. And I also hate the hdmi it came with it is terrible thats not a problem with the monitor, but if you ever get it buy a display port cable with it, I really need to get one

Started with two 17 inch screens back in the day because I took 2 old computers with those monitors from my dad when I went to college, One died on me and I bought a 23 Inch monitor for that, and one shouldn't be working anymore considering the hours the screen has been on but still does:

Left screen : http://www.amazon.com/HP-Pavilion-23-Inch-LED-lit-Monitor/dp/B00B3FTM7S

Right screen: http://nl.hardware.info/productinfo/1182/acer-al1751   (sorry for the dutch url, only site I can find with the specs on it though :P)  Note²: I did notice that screen was brighter, but didn't know until now it's a 400cd/m²   :blink:

I have a really old TN screen form Acer: H223HQ.

It is still ok. I'm waiting for a 4k G-sync (or free sync) 16:10 10bit IPS screen 27'' for under 1500 USD before I upgrade.

I'm still running on my core i7-920

Not sure that 16:10 27" IPS screens exist. But I could be wrong on that. Unless you mean 16:9, they do exist. :D

have you tried the flawless widescreen program?

 

fixes most non-standard aspect ratio issues. hugely popular for surround users

 

been thinking about going from 1080p surround to 21:9 (that new 3440x1440 one that's coming), and I'm pretty sure flawless widescreen would fix any/all problems that it did for surround as it would 21:9

So would you go for an IPS or a VA monitor for your upgrade?

Honestly, I'm not sure. I am not monitor-savvy so I am just not sure. However I feel like IPS monitors suit me best. Sorry for delayed response, been busy with school :(
