alright this has bothered me for a while, and even more disturbing is i dont know how to do it?

but if i make something in 3d it turns out fine usually for me but too dark for other people. atleast when i use a dark image its visible for me but almost completely black for others.

is there anyway to optimize my monitor or something?



ps. my contrast is max while brightness is just adjusted to where i can see about 75. not sure if settings are the same across monitors.

You could just turn down contrast and brightness just past the point where the images people complain about become something you would complain about. Hehe

The problem my screen has is that individual colours are somehow brighter than white. And the gradients of individual colours cut off at about 192.

There's a decent chance you've already found this(assuming you googled), but can't hurt to post it

You can also change the gamma setting of you graphics card, this is especially good if your monitor is getting old and looses it's brightness.

My usual advice is to max contrast and then run a game that have some sort of brightness adjust scale.
