| OK, I messed about with Task Scheduler and it was not as complicated as I first thought. Initially it sort of didn't work. The profile was loaded straight away and then the nVidia Control Panel must have kicked in after as the profile switched back. I then discovered that I could delay the start of ... |

| I contacted ColourVision about this problem and they said: "This is a problem forced by the graphic drivers. Their control panels need longer to boot than the ColorVisionStartup which gave them the chance to overwrite the data we just wrote to the lookuptable of the graphic adapter". Their soloution... |

| Spoke too soon :( The colour profile that I created using the Spyder does not load when I switch on my PC even though it is listed as the default profile in the Colour Management section. If I click on the Spyder software and then close it straight away, the profile loads. Have checked around the ne... |

| I thought I would let you know how I got on with the Spyder2Express thing. To be honest I wasn't expecting much of a change other then being £67 less well off.

If I had to choose one of the MagicBright options, it would be the Movie one although it does have a slight orange tint to it.

| I received a brand new 226BW from Samsung as a replacement for my old one which had developed a fault with the RTA function. This new one seems so much brighter then my previous one and I am having difficulty finding a good balance between the Brightness/Contrast setting. I've tried a couple of cali... |
