The display is faultless except for the upper level of brightness/contrast seems limited.

I do have trouble with for instance web sites that use dark backgrounds. I have to struggle to read the text on these backgrounds.
I have max'd out the displays firmware controls for this feature but this doesn't fix the problem


I recall when I installed FC3 that it asks to select from a long list the monitors. The fact was that my monitor was not listed among all the LG monitors. I have a LG 77M 50/60Hz 2.0A so I had to pick one I "thought" might work.

If there is a solution one might recommend I like to hear it.

thank you




Craig, the general issue of monitor setup was addressed on the list a week or so back. I don't remember the details but if one knows the technical specifications of their monitor, there is a tool in FC3 that allows one to enter custom display setup parameters. If memory serves at all, the exchanges included a link to a website that enables one to determine an unknown monitor parameter if some are known.

There's a little program called xgamma that usually will adjust the brightness. See the man page for how to use it.
