| 465899 | 2006-06-25 02:21:00 | I have a 17" viewsonic E70 monitor. What should I have the brightness and contrast set to for optimum viewing? | Gabpoll (7710) | ||

| 465901 | 2006-06-25 05:20:00 | Under the Hardware section on this page (faqf1.net.nz) there are three FAQs on monitors. I'm not sure which one has the answers to your question but I think it is #2 "Adjusting the focus on a monitor". | FoxyMX (5) | ||
| 465902 | 2006-06-25 06:15:00 | This is the extract you want: 1) Optimise the contrast and brightness to get the picture as good as you can . Billy's Set Up Tip: Firstly, brightness is not brightness at all, it is actually 'black level, so the correct way to set brightness and contrast is as follows: In subdued light, set the contrast to minimum and adjust the brightness control until the 'black' border of the screen outside the image area is just black i . e not showing scanning lines . Now turn up the contrast to achieve the picture that you want . On old monitors it may be necessary to broggle the brightness a little to optimise the result but for most monitors in reasonable condition this should produce the right result .
