What is the brightness level of your monitor set at?

Finn · 06-04-2003, 12:18 AM

Hi all. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Just a general survey. May I know what brightness level is it set at (0%-100%)
and what is your contrast level as well?

The reason why I'm asking is that I just realised that some "gridline" graphics from my site don't show up at all when its around 50% or less. I usually have my settings at around 90% so I wasn't aware of this issue until recently. Anyways, just thought I'd do a little survey to see if I should change/alter these graphics.

Thanks. [img]graemlins/heee.gif[/img]

Both on maximum.

My Normal Brightness setting is: 50-55% for graphics drawing and in dark games, 70% so I can SEE [img]smile.gif[/img]

Contrast is ALWAYS at 100%

My color table is 9300K

Man, I'd have to sit about 3m away from the monitor to have brightness on max! :wowbig:

My brightness is 53%, though my contrast is 90%.

On a monitor related note, my monitor lately has been 'flickering'; not like flickering like a faulty light bulb, but like readjusting its size in and out a couple of millimetres every so often. A bit like the effect of Ziroc's april fools 'joke' only not as bad

. What's that about? Is it about to give up the ghost?

OHHH!! My Moniter did this too! I changed my refresh rate to 75Mhz instead of 80. Try that.

I first thought the slight movement was my mouse moving the screen [img]smile.gif[/img] . It's a refresh rate burp. Is yours at 80Mhz? Whatever it's at now, lower it by 1.

It's at 75Mhz. Should I put it down to 72? That's the next lowest option.

Thanks for the feedback, guys.

Looks like I might not have to make much alterations after all.

If you set the refresh rate too low, it may give you a headache. 75 is usually the best refresh for most monitors.
