my monitor is so dark I have to save images and lighten them in photoshop..
and watching videos is painful
I fear her days are numbered
can anybody help me out?

you've already played with the brightness and contrast, right? :)

yeah of course..they are both turned up all the way
this monitor is super old and just getting progressivly worse
for awhile the picture was also vibrating/shaking and there was a humming noise
now its just really damn dark
its really annoying cause I can't tell how bright other people are seeing things
so I don't know how bright to make them
if that made sense...
it does to me anyways :p

thanks guys!
I'm not picky about what size it is..
I just need to be able to see things properly and get out of the darkness
