I have my monitors brightness and contrasts set on the highest setting but is not as bright as my friend's monitor cause when I play a game or watch a movie its darker and I cant see somethings that are there, compared to my friend's monitor..... I thought it's just cause my monitor is just not good but recently it's gotten darker, I can still see normal bright pictures but if something is collored black I cant see it and this happened without me doing anything to the monitor and happened after a windows update.... How do I get it to be brighter without changing Monitors?
well, what kind of monitor is it? what kind of graphics card do you have? what are you system specs? give us some more details and someone might be able to help.
My pc specs are..... Pentium 4 1.70ghz 512MB RAM 128MB 64bit ATI Radeon graphics card Dont know much bout the monitor its brand is PowerVision!
Ok how about age of monitor. Is all your computer video in this darkness? Is it only certain programs or games? Did you check your advanced video settings for "gamma correction" or the brightness in the drivers? Does this happen in safe mode? Turn up your contrast as well on the monitor to see if it makes a difference. -Del
