When I press the controls I don't know what they are for because they are in Japanise
I have a smaller sized Gateway monitor than yours, but I'm sure the monitor buttons (on the front) perform the same functions on all sizes.
You should have eight control buttons on the front of the bezel (as listed from left to right): source, menu, down arrow, up arrow, left arrow, right arrow, auto/set, and on/off buttons.
Press the menu button, the first dialog screen that appears (at least on mine) is the brightness/contrast function. The screen will show the function to be changed, and a very small picture of what screen you have in view.
Once the first function is listed on the screen, press the down arrow to access the other screens (color, tracking and set-up), each having their own little picture indicating what screen you are looking at.
Brightness/contrast - picture of half light, half dark circle
color - RGB picture
tracking - two squares on top on one another slightly off center
set-up- hand pointing left
You want the set-up screen which shows a picture (I think) of a little hand pointing to the left. Once you are in the set-up screen, press the auto/set button and the first line will be highlighted (usually it is the language choice).
Once highlighted, press the right arrow button until your language name appears (i.e., English, Duetsch, Francais, Espanol Italiano, -there is no choice on mine for Japanese, etc.).
Press the menu button again and that should do it.

Hey Tom,
It sounds like you may have had a brown out. Did the power in your house or at least near the computer go out or flicker? A brown out is when there is less than enogh power supplied, which is much worse then a surge of excess power.
Most new computer hardware have rpeventative measures in place for this namely in the power supplies, but monitors do not. I hate to be the oen to tell you, but you probably need a new monotor.
You can test this 2 ways. Hook up the monitor to another PC and see if it is still white. Hook up a different monitor to the same PC and see if it works. If for any reason it does not seem to be the monotor, it could be the video card (and/or monitor).
Hope this helps.
