Odd Photoshop Colors

I just got a new monitor (Samsung 22 syncMaster 220wm) and I've installed it and everything, but now when I open up photoshop sometimes the colors are a bit messed up.

For example, now when I use white it appears as a slight off white/yellow color.

I've also noticed when I finally finish a project and save it as a jpeg, the final product is much brighter and the colors are really dull.

Any idea what's wrong? Photoshop gave me an error about color profiles or something...

 

I had the same problem, I am running the SyncMaster2053BW and I just had to install the monitor driver that came with it on a cd. I am going to guess your photoshop is not legit as retail (at least with CS3) came with a gamma corrector so that would not happen, either way, installing the stuff that came with the monitor should fix it.

 

I'm pretty sure I did but I can try it again...

 

Some new monitors come with thier colors off as well, are you sure its *only* photoshop, or is PS the only program where its noticable?

 

I just tried some side by side comparisons and I can easily tell that the Photoshop "white" is really much more yellow than other programs.

 

Could it have something to do with the hook-ups?

 

Well if it was I don't think it would only do it for photoshop...

 

You need to recalibrate the monitor.

Read section 2. I used the software that came with my graphics card to calibrate it, and Adobe has yet to scream at me. Basically, you need Photoshop to receive your ICC profile, lest it cast the colors wrong. Somewhere along the road, the information is being lost, and so Photoshop doesn't know how to display white. From what I've read, recalibrating normally fixes this. If you run an older copy of Photoshop, you probably need to update your drivers.
