Lots of people complain about the brightness according to the reviews I have read... most say turning the brightness and contrast down works for them. If it is still too bright, I would be concerned that it is actually faulty and running in this state would cause it to burn out.
As for the gamma profile problem, does windows say "saving your settings" when you shut down? If not try tweak 30 here

Hi NooNoo
Once the brightness on the monitor goes below about 70, the screen looks murky & not less bright (if that makes sense). Hence me having to play around with the advanced settings in the display.
Windows did not give me a “save your settings” on shut down & I have just tried the tweak you mentioned & still no luck.
XP boots up with the new profile, while the login screen & then the desktop load, then it reverts back to the default. What’s strange is that the COLOR tab then only has to be clicked (nothing has to be selected or applied in there) and the new profile is back!
Do you know anything else that I could try or the reason why this could be happening?

Have you got the latest catalysts? It may be a problem with the software supplied by ATI.

Thanks you NooNoo, I just downloaded the latest catalysts and that has sorted out the problem. Now XP starts up with the new profile and briefly for around 10 seconds (whilst the items in the sys tray are loading) it reverts back to the default profile and then comes back & stays at the new profile.
I have one slight error (maybe it’s not), which has started occurring ever since I connected up my monitor yesterday & that is when ever I shut down I get the following message for a few seconds:
No Signal Input
Check Video Cable
I also get this same message on starting up Win XP, just prior to the login screen appearing. Again its only visible on the screen for a few seconds.
Could this be due to having only the DVI cable connected? And not using the VGA cable as well?
I don’t have any problems whilst using Windows, its just the message appears on start up & shut down (both times on a black screen).
Thanks for all your help

No, it's due to no signal being fed to the monitor at that time and the monitor is very quick to report it.
Glad the update sorted it.
