I have just changed from a 23" 1920x1080 monitor to a 27" 2560x1440 and use the ksplashx-suse splash screen - the one with a black background plus "green plant" and the usual suse animal. I have also switched to a dvi connection as I understand the usual vga isn't suitable for this resolution.
It's a Dell untrasharp monitor. The odd thing is that the black is speckled with grey. Badly with the default brightness that they come set too which is way to bright for normal use but the effect is still there with much reduced brightness levels which if anything are still a bit too bright.
My previous viewsonic monitor didn't have this problem even before I calibrated it. I haven't calibrated this one yet but wouldn't expect it to make that much difference in this area.
I'm wondering if this is down to scaling the splash screen. If so I may be able to make a better job of pre scaling it if I I new where and what it was and if this is possible. Must admit I also have some interest in changing the colours as well but like the design.
I've just improved it again by dropping the contrast as well but am still curious about the effect.
