I think it came down to your suggestion that I check the color selection. Everything else seemed in order. For some reason I did override the auto color selection and when i changed the setting to never override the system - everything worked! Now I need to adjust something to get a little crisper view. Letters seem a bit washed out. thanks for the feedback.

You're welcome.
