Hi Tim. Sorry for the delay in replying. I hadn't tried the monitor controls, (silly me) and that sorts the DVD's out ok, but then I have to reset the brightness/contrast, otherwise the desktop is way over the top. I was thinking that there might be some controls similar to those on Xawtv, where you can set brightness/contrast, etc, without messing with the monitor. Nigel.
