IMO, what's amiss with Noire is that the white levels are all blown out--meaning anything near max white for the skin is drawn to that color. I went into skin effects and did an "add color"/<grey> so that the whites are taken down to various leves of dove grey. All of a sudden the gridline shades reappear. Then I went into the font options and selected "bold", and Noire gets some contrast, and readability.

Man, I never new you could specify your own colors... That is pretty cool!!
Mr ChriZ:
This depends alot on your screen too, I noticed on some
TFT screens my skin looks all one shade,
where as on my Trinitron they stand out really well.

Most flat panel display colors == bad (and you usually can't fix the gain on the individual RGB channels either).
That's why I stick to CRTs. The manufacturers are just being forced by the market to produce these things cheaper and cheaper, which leads to very inconsistent quality. At work, we have a large number of LCD monitors, and many of them -- even same exact models purchased at the same time -- don't match each other at all!
Again... I love my Samsungs.
Mr ChriZ:
Glynor, do you use something to synchronize colours
on your Samsungs?
I'm interested in finding out how easy/well they synchronize?
My mum needs a decent screen for her photography stuff,
and we've been recommended to get a Spyder Calibrator...
We decided her old Belinea screen needs replacing as well.
These Samsungs seem the most obvious buy at the moment.

I agree with the cause, but not the cure. Add Color - Grey for me did not work well at all. Using bold is interesting.... in some ways it makes an easier quick read due to contrast , but over time reading all bold makes my eyes "tired".
Good suggestions though.
