> I think it's smart not to have a DVD player if it's in your computer provided you have a good screen, which I do I have a plasma 17" I like it, although I have trouble with the brightness, it's just a bit bright no matter what colours I use and how I try to adjust brightness and contrast... about the Intervideo maybe we just have different versions, I use mine for my cable TV on computer, I don't even KNOW if it's got a DVD-playing feature, mind you I'm computer challenged so there you go.
Check your monitor's documentation to see if you can change its color temperature, if you haven't already done so. Don't know about LCDs, but most CRTs come factory preset at 9300K, which is very bright white. Most have several predefined color temperature settings from which you can choose. The standard temperature used for prepress print work is 6500K ("daylight"). Note that any changes to color temperature will take a day or so to get used to.
Too tired to make sense, but don't want to go to sleep!
