I feel like the only way I can confirm this is by testing with an image from the web and see what you guys see. "Look, I'm not an intellectual. I just take pictures"

Also does the background have a slightly yellow hue to it?... I don't see anything that I would characterize as low contrast. What little of the background that shows is sort of yellowish, I would say; zooming in I see mostly red, green, yellow, and brown pixels.

There is a very slight hint of yellow in the BG but it is so slight as not to be worth mentioning. I am serious....and don't call me Shirley.

Mar 05, 2013 19:21 | #5 The image looks plenty contrasty to me. I don't know that I would call the background yellow but I suppose it may be leaning in that direction. Aaron

The colors of your photo look great on the Asus and are yellowish on the cheap monitor. The white surounding your image is bright and crisp and white vs dull and lightly yellow tinted. Shane W

Mar 07, 2013 00:03 | #9 After reading the comments I validated that the low-contrast I saw on my monitor was abnormal. After some troubleshooting I found out that if I used an HDMI cable to connect my monitor to computer it gave this low-contrast wash to the entire screen. Switched to DVI and it looked normal after that. Thanks guys! "Look, I'm not an intellectual. I just take pictures"

This is kind of weird though, any one ever hear of such an experience? Glad you got it sorted out! That is strange, though. From what I've read, HDMI and DVI should be the same with regard to the digital video signal, although HDMI also transmits audio. Weird! Ace Rimmer -- "What a guy!"
