What a weird Monitor..
I just calibrated an oldie , viewsonic va2323wm.
The User-Set color settings on the monitor side (to match white point) Does not kick in once the monitor turns off, UNTIL you re-enter the color menu manually..
The settings stay in the menu, but it doesn't activate until you go INTO the menu after every power cycle
I doubt anyone has ever used this cheapie monitor for color-work, but had they done so, unless they knew about this defect, they would've woken up to the wrong colors each and every time the monitor power cycles..
