The Darkest Monitor

Nithake's picture
My computer monitor is screwy. It's been screwy for as long as I can remember. But... Things look twice as dark as they should. For instance, the background here for TEF is supposed to be brown, right? It's black for me. Not that it's a big deal, but when someone submits a sketch of something in the Pictures, I can't see it because everything is completely black.

I don't know how to fix the problem, I think I'm just stuck with it. It had this problem since we first got it, and now it's five years older, and hey, nothing has changed. Not even when we set it up with a different Comp tower.

If anyone has any suggestions to help this minor agitation, it will be appreciated.

There should be four buttons

There should be four buttons on the bottom of your monitor, or the side.
Two of those buttons control the contrast.
Problem solved?

Nope, I've tried that

Nope, I've tried that before. It doesn't get any lighter than it is.
