I would contact NEC directly, it could be that the "techs" are not
100% informed. You could try
http://cssweb.nectech.com/css/newkbaseindex.htm
and see if there is any thing useful there. If you have a C400 there
is a color gain setting on the on screen menu for blue and green,
red is factory set. What is the exact model that you have? I don't
think there should be a problem unless you have one of the USB
models and they seem to have control on the monitor as well as
from software.
I'm using an older NEC XV15 that is "plug and play compatible"
and has energy management features with no problems under DOS.
