but as soon as they get a little closer to the eye of the beholder, the dot will become black,...its still really far away, and then it looks very unnatural, mostly because the dot is deep black.
objects, even against terrain, somehow seem to pop out and dont look at all realistic......
david,
aside from the other issues you mentioned, you seem to indicate you dont have a significant issue with locating and identifying/tracking distant aircraft or ground targets.
i looked up your monitor (couldnt see the exact same model, but all 19' monitors from the Aldi store in the last few years are again TN based monitors), and we can fairly safely assume yours to is a TN monitor (being the type of monitor that has the least problem with distant object visibility

a good place to find monitor specs and panel types is at http://www.prad.de

i dont want to hammer away to much at this TN panel issue, but it is a significant variable, and is used by most people who claim good visibility for these distant objects (and they being the lower cost monitors, are probably also used in the russian office where CoD/SoW is being created (except for the grafix artists who would have higher quality displays so they can correctly paint/illustrate scenery and objects.
