There are many aspect of Ubuntu has been improved. However, I do not really understand the rational for their decision for removing old good working video setting tool from the setting menu. The new one is not as good as the last one.
Anyway, the tool is still there, but is hidden. The command for it is
sudo displayconfig-gtk
Also, if you are like me who has an old machine running old Intel integrated graphics. You may want to set the color depth to 16 as it does not support color depth higher than it that well

The reason for the same should be apparent if you visit the list at ubuntu-x

WONTFIX all displayconfig-gtk bugs. I talked with all the involved
parties at UDS. KDE wants to obsolete guidance-backends with KDE 4
so won't be supporting the backend. The maintainers of the frontend
are not going to be doing any further development. We pulled
displayconfig-gtk out of the menus for Hardy, and will be removing
it from main in Intrepid. In talking with Timo, we will stop using
it for bulletproof-X mode as well. Thus, all bug reports can be
closed as WONTFIX. Here's a suggested bug response to use:

Thank you for reporting this bug and for your efforts to make Ubuntu
better. As Xorg has improved this past year, an unfortunate side
effect of these improvements is that it has rendered several design
assumptions in displayconfig-gtk obsolete. So, starting with Hardy
we are no longer putting displayconfig-gtk forth as a primary
configuration tool, and are putting our development focus into the
Screen Resolution applet. As a result, we do not plan to fix this
bug and thus are closing it.

Thanks for the insight. I guess I can always tweak settings the old way ... but I much prefer not to.
