Monitor calibration HI, i have a Benq FP72G+ monitor, and I changed the monitors calibration settings for a specific photography job, I now need it back to its original setting but cant do it! On my camera (its a pretty good camera) the display pictures look different from them on my monitor screen, the reds to appear to be red enough.. I wondering if its my monitor, if if the images acually look like this?

This product is supposed to have adjustable low blue light levels. And here is quote to ponder: Also, With the help of its six proprietary calibration techniques, Sensei 3 delivers only the best viewing quality in each of its pre-set viewing modes -Standard, Movie, Game, Photo, sRGB, Reading, M-book and Eco. So, you have these 8 viewing modes as well as 6 calibration techniques. I guess you choose your pre-set and then tweak away once you find your way into the calibration settings.

Here is a user manual for the monitor: http://www.benq.com.au/support/downloads/download.cfm?file=lcdmonitor/manual/gl2040m/lcd%20monitor_um_user%20manual_20100903_143905gl40_41(a)m_en.pdf

You have to dig into the calibration settings and I wrecklessly assume the user manual will point the way to those settings.

Here is a support link for questions at the BenQ site.

Make sure the cables are in well with a good amount of slack, it can cause a problem if your power cable or computer to monitor cable is loose

Yes it is. BenQ has a massive Cap/Transister issue. Unless you have a decen't grasp of soldering/parts ordering it might be best to buy a new monitor.

THE PWER TRANSFORMER MY NEED TO BE CHANGED, DUE TO A DECREASE IN AMPERAGE.

Open it up and look for burned or some cold soldre joints. After resolder it should work.

Can I assume (?) you re-tried firmly checking each cable connection and the power supply is soundly in place including checking the fuse in the plug That's all I can suggest as the things I would do if in your shoes.

3 years old and generally rated as a Mediocre monitor to begin with, I'd say I'd invest in a new monitor

Here are some replacement options:

Check the ribbon from the video card to the back of the panel. It has to be aligned perfectly and locked down in the right position at the video card side, and pushed in corrctly to the panel.

The section that contains the inverter circuit is totally seperate from the rest of the power supply. Seperated by the fuse link marked FBxxx.

The parts list..Here we go again =)

1. 4x 2SC5705 (can also be 706 as well)
2. Bridge capacitors (near the transistors) - Replace
3. Transformers (can be either 4 or 2 used) - Resolder
4. Fuse link (Marked with prefix FBxxx top middle of the board) - Replace
5. 2x Diodes (close to transistors, one for each pair.) - Test

Start with those and if you still have issues post back with a photo of your board from both sides.
