Oh god, the color on my new monitor is awful. Granted this monitor is just supposed to hold me over until I can get one suitable for graphics, since my old monitor is on the fritz and doing its damnedest to give me epilepsy. But the blacks are milky grey even on the lowest brightness setting, the pale yellow-oranges are a sea of monotonous curve-breaking splotch, and the whole thing has a sickly cast, and this is after my best failed attempt at calibration.
It's a cheap Acer, for the record.
