New TFT monitor too bright

Marcos · 2005-06-28 13:31:24

Hi I've just got a new TFT monitor and even with the monitor brightness settings brought down to 0 it is still way too bright. Does anyone know if you can change brightness levels in XP Home edition? I tried checking out Display in the Control panel but couldn't find anything. All help appreciated. M

When most of us say "social justice" we mean equality under the law opposition to prejudice, discrimination and equal opportunities for all. When Social Justice Activists say "social justice" they mean an emphasis on group identity over the rights of the individual, a rejection of social liberalism, and the assumption that unequal outcomes are always evidence of structural inequalities.

Try the Display in Control Panel Again.

Go in there and click settings. Click the advanced tab on bottom right and you will get settings on your graphics card in one of those tabs. Provided you graphics card is properly installed.

I had this problem too. I was told that lowering the contrast can help, which it did. I eventually got used to it anyway.

Like Webmonkey said, you can lower the gamma of the display alright if your graphics drivers support it.
