Monitor color/brightness settings dark when playing a vedio

I have a brand new computer running on AMD Athlon 3200+ and with a NIVIDA GeForge FX 5600 graphics card, with a 17" LCD monitor, and all the colors seem file when using the computer, but whenever I try to play a vedio in any program for any format, the color seems really dark and kinda blurry, and the transitions dont seem smooth, like it was set to 256 or lower color. but in display settings, its set to 32 bit (highest) and my hardware accelleration is on full, and everything else seems file. just the vedio. in any program (i used quicktime, real player, DivX, and wmp) and in any format, so i know its soemthing to do with my settings or with the driver. its a plug and play monitor. i tried to uninstall it and plug it back in, and everything, and it still wont work. sorry if it was already posted in the forum, but i couldnt find it.

Re: Monitor color/brightness settings dark when playing a vedio

Is there an Auto setting button on the monitor?

Also try Start/Run/ dxdiag | Display

Any errors there? Do the 3D tests work OK?

Do you have DirectX 9.0c?
