How do you adjust the monitor brightness in the computer? I have made it as bright as it will get with the buttons on the monitor itself, but it is still significantly darker than the average monitor, and too dark to distinguish between dark-medium tones and black on most images. Please tell me how to find the internal brightness adjustment controls.
try the DISPLAY setting in the Control Panel...
(under the Settings tab, and then click on Advanced...that's where the settings usually are)

argh... I think I've looked everywhere in there that i can think of looking... Is it possible that there is no was to adjust it?
The only thing in settings>advanced that could concievably have any bearing on this, as far as I can tell is "color management", and it is a list of options to add for the "default color profile". That isn't it, is it?
The only other tabs to choose from are "general"(DPI settings), "adapter", "monitor" (screen refresh rate), "troubleshoot", and "color management", as i mentioned.
It seems like there must be a way to do this, right?
well, what kind of video card do you have? also what kind of monitor...
is there any software that you can download fr your card?

usually video cards come with some software that lets u adjust the gamma and what not. i think 3dfx might, pretty sure ATI does.
If you can't adjust your monitor with software or with the buttons on the monitor itself, you might consider taking it to a repair shop for adjustment.
looking at the computers in the store, we decided that our current monitor was a hopeless case, and got a new one. I don't know if there would have been a way to fix the other one or not, but thank you very much for your help.
well..I'm glad you don't have a problem anymore..but it might have been cheaper to reply back more than once and we probably could've found a way to do this...
but, spending your money is easier... https://discussions.virtualdr.com/
hope the new monitor works well...
PS-what kind did you get?
