Yet even on the new monitor I can't get the patterns to blend when trying to gamma correct. I also noticed that the image displayed in a web browser tended to be a little flat. This I believe is because browsers want jpegs written in sRGB format, my editing software was supposed to do that but apparently didn't. Having updated the software the image in the editing software now matches the image in the browser.

It is so nice to know that I am not the only one, saves me thinking 'Why me!' Mine is a new monitor and I can't get the patterns to blend either.
