Vampire Posted January 4, 2004 Posted January 4, 2004 My monitor is either half broken, or just crap in the first place. I have both brightness and contrast up to 100% on my monitor settings, and its still dark. I use the gigabyte utility that came with my video card to up the brightness on the windows desktop, but it doesnt work for some games, it is so dark it is almost unplayable... I just need a program that ups the brightness for ALL programs. If I run 3dmark I can hardly see the tests, its that dark. Any help would be appreciated Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
O(V)eGA_l2el) Posted January 4, 2004 Posted January 4, 2004 Try a different monitor and check for the same results. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some_Guy_ Posted January 4, 2004 Posted January 4, 2004 Doesn't the ATI driver have brightness and gamma settings? You might be able to crank up the brightness in there. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eva_Unit_0 Posted January 4, 2004 Posted January 4, 2004 (edited) The ati drivers have two sets of brightness/gamma/contrast settings, one for the desktop and one for 3d applications. Sound like you've adjusted the desktop, just adjust the 3d one to your likings. Edited January 4, 2004 by Eva_Unit_0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ClayMeow Posted January 11, 2004 Posted January 11, 2004 nvidia's nview works great for nvidia cards You can apply the changes to all, or desktop, or video, or overlay/mvr (Whatever that is). Just thought i'd point this out incase there's nvidia users viewing this thread. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
