Does anyone know how to make a dark monitor lighter? I have a pretty dim one, with the contrast and brightness cranked all the way up. I used adobe gamma level program to make it "better" before (not perfect), but now with my xp upgrade I am really looking at a dying firefly. Thanks.
I was told by an "expert" ...buy a new one. They do die after some time. Mine was an IBM monitor 2 1/2 years old. ( says a lot for IBM) Just kept getting darker. Treat yourself .
True - monitors do have a shelf life ... something like 5 years, isn't it? Okay ... well - except maybe IBMs ... ;)
How old is your monitor, Pheck?
Get an eye test first though...I thought my old monitor was going blurry but it turns out i'm going blind from staring at a monitor all the time :D:D:D
There no doubt about you Jamble :) :)
if i knew i would fix all those dim ones in our labs at school :mad:
its time for a new monitor :D
respect and thanks.
I am off to get a new one. Funny thing is it just completely died on me within an hour of posting this thread. I used to be able to smack it when it'd trip out, but even my spanking don'twork anymore. I'm typing at school now. It was manufactured in 1997 so I guess time's about up (Proview monitor wasn't the best anyway).
