Hi guys! I bought a p2370 samsung monitor and everything was running great. I decided to install the monitor drivers that come with the monitor and i realized that everytime i tried to view a photo (using the usual windows program) the image would have a yellowish appearence, but only with that software. This just appens with images viewd with the standard windows program. The videos look normal, the websites look normal, and if I view a picture in some website that, for example, has some white areas and I save it to my computer and then view it with the windows program, the white areas turn yellow :S I'm using two monitor, a p2370 and an old benq fp931. First the yellowish thing starts just with the benq monitor, and then "spreads" to the samsung one. I tried to restore the system and the problem goes away, but so do the drivers. So my question is, can I fix the yellowish problem or should I just unistall the drivers and use the monitor without them? Do the drivers really improve the image quality of a monitor?

The monitors that are sold on the market do not need any drivers. The only use of these drivers is that you get the name of your monitor in the Device Manager analysis. So if you don't mind for brand name and model appearing on the device manager then you can just leave it as "Default Monitor". Some monitor manufacturers provide a software that can help the user to choose the "recommended" Brightness, Contrast, Gamma Correction and Color temperature depending on the user needs. BUT I suggest that you remove these programs, because you can get better results by just adjusting those settings by yourself. The yelloish color you are getting is probably a wrong setting in the color temperature. Restore the default settings on your monitor and make the adjustments MANUALLY from scratch.
