Many thanks Jorma. Now it all makes sense!

Thank you John, all good info.

Thanks again. Part of it is that I have the monitor high up so I sit up straight, then I slump and so view off centre. Classic PEBKAC! In any case I am more comfortable with the much paler grey it is now, so the problem is all solved with your help.

I expect it is just age; I probably would have loved the lower contrast environment a few decades ago. The monitor is a large and expensive iiyama so it is probably ok.

The person saying it cannot be done should not interrupt the person doing it.

Thanks. That is what I could not find. Setting the windows colours to light grey gives a very usable result.

I noticed that in a lot of the videos about Vegas on youtube the app has plain white for the background so I assume it is not only me that finds the dark grey unworkable.

I don’t understand your comment about the Gamma; please would you explain what you mean by “The menu test should be fairly easy to read.” Do you mean a test in calibrating the gamma with some other program or a test in Vegas?
