Please take note that Samsung outsourced part of its production to AU Optronics and CMO. It can be verified on the backpanel label. For more information, go to this article (in french only). http://www.hardware.fr/articles/667-1/samsung-226bw-series-a-s-verdict.html To exactly know who manufactured your monitor, please follow those steps: - Move contrast and luminosity sliders to zero (0) - Press the Menu button - Press the Source button for a full five (5) seconds (second from right) A secret "Service Function" menu will then appear. Look for the "Panel Info" line. It's there! http://www.hardware.fr/medias/photos_news/00/19/IMG0019703.jpg To help you get the right colors from the AU version, in the article (on page 3), they propose an .ICM file that corrects the colors so you'll get the same rendering as the "S" version. (http://www.lesnumeriques.com/images/1/news/2007/04/Samsung%20SyncMaster%20226BW%20A%20Internet.icm) You'll also need Wincolor (from the microsoft web site) to apply this ICM. (http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=1E33DCA0-7721-43CA-9174-7F8D429FBB9E&displaylang=en) Good luck! Oh!. By the way! I do have the "A" version, and the ICM file did a fairly good job of correcting the colors!
