UGH... bought an 18 inch Mag LCD.. love it.

However, Photoshop will not display colors correctly. As a matter of fact, they're way off. Only program doing it, too...

Any suggestions??

Hey montoya ;)
Yeah - I think it may have something to do with the gamma settings within PS. I am not sure though....never used that program, but that is the problem I had when I switched monitors in several applications.

haha. LCD's show colors more true, not the other way arround. I bet your color settings are messed up in PS. To test this, go get a picture from like google or something with a lot of different colors in it. Then view the image in IE and then open PS up and paste it in there. If the colors are different then it is your color settings in PS.

did your vid card come with a calibration card? something to compare colors, usually statically adheres to the screen...

sometimes in with the monitor, a CD and this card... then you take the steps, and calibrate...

maybe...

Rev, LCD's don't come with those because there isn't a need for color correction like on CRT's.

It might have something to do with the menu under View-> Proof Setup. You could try messing aroung with that.
