Monitor contrast

Postby Akashio » Sat Jun 21, 2003 11:40 pm

I have a dual display. One being a 19" Samsung and the other, a 17" Trinitron. The problem is that the 17" monitor has too much contrast and therefore causes trouble when I edit in premiere (the monitor window at 720x480 is on my 17". Is there any way to change the contrast of my 17" Trinitron?

Yeah, there should be a button or knob on the front of your monitor :? .

Also, if you can't balance contrast/gamma between the two monitors with the buttons on the front, check out the Display -> Advanced (search around from here) control panel. If you're using an ATI or Nvidia card (sometimes other manufacturers include this in their drivers) you can gamma, color, & saturation correct via the included software and you can usually get a tight little match between the two displays that you couldn't get simply with the buttons.

When I troubles with my monitors I kick them, it doesn't always help, but it usually helps liven up the evening... :?
