Monitor configuration

[Mythgarr]

I didn't notice a post on this, so I thought I'd bring it up. On the preorder CD, it includes a set of graphics designed to help you calibrate your monitor to the correct settings. If you've ever used the THX Optimizer included with many DVDs, it's just like that but for a PC.
The files are located in the <EQ2 Chargen path>\DemoCreateUI\images\calibration folder. There is a version for dds and one for tga. For step 4, if you have an nVidia or ATI video card (which you should if you're planning on playing EQ2), you can go into your video card's control panel to access the color settings. Use the red, green, and blue gamma controls.
This may be common knowledge, but after running through it I noticed a significant difference in the realism in the colors.
