-- Posted by Feel The High at 11:19 am on Nov. 19, 2008 My computer monitor is set at the brightest (%100) and my TV for my living room is at its brightest too.. but these two are so dark.. I can't really look at stuff that well.. Has this happened to anyone else? is it because my TV and computer monitor are too old? -- Posted by sieeeeerra at 11:20 am on Nov. 19, 2008 Are they black? -- Posted by Feel The High at 11:21 am on Nov. 19, 2008 Quote: from trashleyy at 11:20 am on Nov. 19, 2008 Are they black? I'm saying that the image is not bright.. it's too dark. -- Posted by iBritt at 11:22 am on Nov. 19, 2008 Maybe it's your eyes. -- Posted by Feel The High at 11:22 am on Nov. 19, 2008 Quote: from iBritt at 11:22 am on Nov. 19, 2008 Maybe it's your eyes. nah... everyone agrees with me.. -- Posted by Periwinkle at 11:24 am on Nov. 19, 2008 What kind of light is there in the room? -- Posted by Feel The High at 11:25 am on Nov. 19, 2008 Quote: from Periwinkle at 11:24 am on Nov. 19, 2008 What kind of light is there in the room? We have blinds and they are always closed.. and we don't make the monitor or TV face any window.. you know, so we wouldn't get the window's reflection on the screen.. -- Posted by gothjuggalo at 11:35 am on Nov. 19, 2008 well maybe its the connection -- Posted by Blingblingbrie at 11:39 am on Nov. 19, 2008 Wierd maybe it is some kind of Omen?

That can make it very hard to see. You could also experiment with the light levels in the room: believe it or not, opening the blinds might actually make it easier to see. I spend the whole day fiddling with the blind to get the best light for the screen. -- Posted by espresso8097 at 2:57 pm on Nov. 19, 2008 Did you check contrast?  Also check with both monitor OSD (on screen display) settings and in the actual video-card set-up.  I turn Gamma up a bit too, looks better.
