2. How do you know?

3. Does it do the same on other monitors?

4. What video mode setting are you using?

You're close. I found one such person running at 64,000 colors and it was off.

Also, some dvd player software has color controls. I don't recall you mentioning this.

-> Just asking. Why are all the details not in your posts?
