It means you have to (re)calibrate and profile the monitor.
Rob
what do u mean by "(re)calibrate and profile the monitor"
what do i have to do exactly ?
You have once installed that profile, you can try that again.
Or use a hardware device like Spider, or X-rite to calibrate and profile the monitor.
Or, if you have Adobe Gamma in Control Panel, use that (not ideal)

I had the same issue with a Samsung monitor. Their icms are crude and not reliable.
You guys are awesome! You saved me from pulling my hair out! They just replaced my old monitor at work with the Samsung SyncMaster 206BW I had shapes that looked elliptical on the screen that printed round if I tried to correct them for the screen then they printed elliptical! I had other placed images in PageMaker that looked fine on screen but printed stretched out. I also had the color problems you spoke about. I used all of the information you suggested and it fixed the colors and the image shape issues. I up-dated my video card driver as suggested but it still
didnt have the preferred setting of 1440×900. I found that I had to set it for the maximum (1680 x 1050 pixels) in order for the on screen image issue to correct itself.
Thanks again!

For the record LCD monitors should always be run at native resolution/aspect ratio.
Most have it prominently shown on the packaging.
Other values may work but will normally result in degradation of the on-screen image.
Today’s LCD Plug and Play monitors tell the video card what their native resolution is, and it is the maximum one listed. Always set an LCD to its maximum resolution in the video driver dialog.
Rob K. Iv looked everywhere in my PC, Adobe Gamma Control Panel is nowhere to be found. Do you know how to get it running?
