No it's not OT at all...

Funny I had some odd behaviors with my Samsung 213T (not 214T) - like saturated colored 
shadows. The 213T died a while ago, cat clawed it, and at that time I used the EyeOne, only had 
the Spyder CRT at the time, the EyeOne helped for the most part...but wasn't too impressed 
with the EyeOne performance. My memory is foggy but I remember I always shook my head at 
the screwy Samsung monitor interface...that could be where it's messing up.

If I remember correctly Steve M. has the 213T...has he been able to give you any insight with the 
Samsung interface?

You could just have a bad monitor. How does the default Samsung monitor profile look?

What are your settings for gamma, brightness and color temp?

If you spent $2000.US for the Samsung...I probably would have purchased an Apple monitor or 
NEC instead.

Best,
