Monitor Calibration

[Katotonic]

Hi all,

Quick question about monitor calibration. I just picked up an asus VN247H-P monitor (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.as...-_-Product) and I am trying to calibrate it for colors and image (of which I have very limited experience and online guides for this monitor seem to be lacking)

Right now I have fiddled with the settings and things look "ok" but I am not really happy with it. A bit too dark and the white gives me a bit of a headache if I look at it too long. But, if I turn up the brightness the colors go washed out, if I try to up the saturation, colors go off color, and if I try to up the contrast I loose definition. I have also tried running the windows calibrate display color thing but no real luck.

Anyone have this monitor? Or any general suggestions?

Also, perhaps unrelated, when I played MWO on my old monitor (samsung SyncMaster 931BF @ 1280x1024 res) I was getting 90-110 FPS with an absolute minimum of 65-70. Now with this monitor I am getting avg 60-65ish with a minimum of 46. Does going up in resolution really slow down a PNY GTX 770 4GB that much?

Thanks
