Hi Tim. Sorry for the delay in replying. I hadn't tried the monitor controls, 
(silly me) and that sorts the DVD's out ok, but then I have to reset the 
brightness/contrast, otherwise the desktop is way over the top.

I was thinking that there might be some controls similar to those on Xawtv, 
where you can set brightness/contrast, etc, without messing with the monitor.

Nigel.
