A point: you will need to drop the gamma for the monitor (Personal Settings>Display>Gamma) from the 1.0 down to whatever level you feel comfortable with -- I went down to 0.70 gamma -- because the screen is *too* bright :-( . Also, select sRGB colour rather than the default 6500K to get "proper" colours. Finally, use the digital connection to get better picture but bear in mind that with digital connection you lose 2 monitor controls because they are not needed (read the User Manual on disc).
I don't suggest changing gamma. All monitors have a gamma of 2.3, and all graphics systems (including web sites) rely on that. If you change the gamma value, stuff typically looks horribly broken.
BTW - most times monitors say that gamma is 1.0 if in fact it is 2.3 8-/
The 1.0 gamma that I am referring to is the value shown as the standard in Suse and not the monitor - the monitor shows no gamma value at all. The ViewSonic widescreen is just too bright for normal viewing. With a white screen like when viewing this page I can light up the rest of the house - and the house next door :-) .
