U3014.. Should I return it or?

Question

Hello everyone. I just got myself a brand new U3014 Rev A02.I'm having a HUGE problem though..

I can't seem to find a proper mode? The standard mode doesn't look good at all I think, and the "game" mode seems dark in games?

My old monitor was a Acer G24 and the display on that was way better than on this monitor I think. I'm actually looking for a 27 inch gaming monitor as of now since I am quite unhappy with this.

Is anyone else having the same issues with me? I have tried raising the brightness up to 60 but it simply feels wrong and it hurts my eyes.. I'm having a hard time describing the overall problem.

Hope someone can help me out. I got 7 days left to return it. What should I do?

Thanks.

try the adobe setting and use a custom ICC profile. http://www.tftcentral.co.uk/reviews/dell_u3014.htm

How can I do that? I don't even got any tools to calibrate the monitor with.

Im currently in standard mode now, have set the brightness to 40%, which still annoys my eyes. If I go higher it's to bright?

The display feels shady and just in a bad image quality :/

Getting desperate here.

read the review. There are settings in there. Reset the monitor and start over.

If you read the article, it will show you links to the ICC profile which has been generated through a calibration.

You use windows to load the profile

Read the article from top to bottom. They have brightness at 23 after calibration. READ
