I was able to improve the colors on my Multisync by taking the cover off and adjusting the output levels of the individual RGB guns, also by adjusting the master focus and brightness knobs. These controls are well hidden and not described in the documentation. (A technician showed me.) I had to build my own tool for adjusting the RGB output levels: you need something with a square-tipped end, as I recall. The master focus and brightness controls are found by removing a thin metal plate on the rear of the monitor (this is after you remove the cover, of course). NEC doesn't tell you about these controls because it is VERY DANGEROUS to be playing around with the inside of the monitor while it's on, and it has to be on for you to see the results of your adjustments. I don't know why NEC didn't make these controls more accessbile. I can't offer any more help than this as it was over a year ago that I made these adjustments, and by now I've forgotten the exact procedure. The quality of my image did improve considerably, but please remember to be careful if you decide to go exploring; you might damage the monitor, and you might even hurt yourself.
