Question on adjusting gamma/brightness

poop10 · Aug 9, 2005, 07:30 PM

For whatever reason, my monitor has always been pretty dark. The brightness/contrast on it is to the max and still was dark. So for my radeon 9600Xt 256mb card, I get the latest omega drivers for it. In the ATI 3d Control Panel I found two places where I can adjust this. I've changed my desktop brightness successfully, it looks fine now.

However, my main reason for asking, is how (or can I even) change the brigtness in my games using these drivers. Currently I'm playing Counter Strike: Source and it's way too dark. Under the Color tab, I have "full screen 3d" with all the brightness/gamma/contrast to the max and it doesn't make a difference - at all.

I'm new to the drivers, so please advise if it's possible to change my game's brightness using this driver (Radeon Omega Drivers 2.6.53 (Catalyst 5.7)).

Thanks for reading.

If you want it a little bit brighter, run it on the LCD resolution.
