Am using Viewsonic VA1912wb with my Xbox360. Picture alright. But
just felt that the BLACK is not BLACK enough. Today, tried connecting
the Xbox360 to a Dell 2405FPW Ultra Sharp Panel Monitor. The picture
quality was very washed out / bright. But the funny thing was, the
setting box that pops up - has very BLACK ...erm, black. But the
game area's BLACK look more like grey.
Anyone using Dell 2405FPW here? Tried to play around with the
settings, but not much difference. Anyone got some pointers?
Thanks .....
Xbox360 / VGA Cable / Dell 2405FPW
Question : Why the pop-up can display dark & rich BLACK but game area can't?

I just noticed that mine is not that black as well for Gears of War. I guess it's the game. Nothing's wrong with ur monitor. Coz on my pc black looks very black
