Tried these out last night on my Velocity 4400. Everything seemed to be =
fine until I tried to run Sin which kept freezing my PC. Also, the gamma =
correction brightened up the screen in normal use - not in OpenGL =
specific apps. which meant it would have been fine for games but too =
bright for normal use. Any ideas??

Cheers.
