With the advent of modern liquid crystalmonitors (TFT, LCD, LCD), the issue of correct setting of their parameters has acquired a particular urgency. A beginner, who first started working with such a monitor, hardly knows that if in the obsolete radar tube models (CRT) no program for adjusting the brightness of the monitor was needed, but now the situation has radically changed. The advantages of the new technology can be talked for a very long time, and there are so many such information at present that even every schoolboy is aware of the lack of flickering of the cadre scan, light weight and compact dimensions of LCD monitors. It would seem that an ideal device for displaying graphic information has finally been developed. But, alas, users who happened to change their usual CRT monitor to a modern LCD, very well know how the first time after such a change, sore and watery eyes during work. Subsequently, these symptoms pass, but the very appearance of them indicates incorrect settings: monitor brightness and contrast must be corrected.
Correctly configured liquid crystalthe monitor is able to more accurately transfer the color gamut of the image, which for popular TN matrices is simply necessary, as well as reduce the burden on the eyesight. Before adjusting the brightness of the monitor, you must set the appropriate color profile for it, which can be downloaded from the manufacturer's website. After this, you can proceed with the adjustment.
The easiest program to adjustthe brightness of the monitor, which is always "at hand" - is the video adapter driver. Any video card allows you to control many basic display parameters. For example, to use the ability to adjust the brightness of the monitor, you should right-click on the desktop and launch the Catalyst control center from the pop-up menu (by the way, it works only if you have the installed NET.Framework package installed on your system). Here in the left part of the window you need to select the control point for the desktop. Having enabled the use of color controls, we can change the brightness of the monitor. If you need to adjust not only the desktop images, but also the video, then go to the corresponding item (Video), where you adjust the brightness. All these functions are also present in the NVidia card driver settings.
Despite the convenience of making settings withusing the capabilities of the video adapter driver, sometimes third-party programs are preferred. There are quite a lot of them: from the simplest ones, in which the brightness is adjusted by entering a value in a percentage, to semi-automatic combines that independently adjust the brightness depending on the time of day. For example, in the Monitor Bright program, even a person without training can understand. More flexible settings are available in Display Tuner, MagicTune and NaViSet applications.
Кроме программных решений не следует забывать о capabilities of the monitor. Many of them allow you to change the preset modes by pressing one single button: for viewing the movie there is a mode "Film", for working on the Internet - "Internet", etc. Usually this is much more convenient than adjustments by the driver and, especially, by third-party programs. After all, you can "forget" with a clear conscience to install the setup program, and change modes by clicking on the monitor panel. It's all about the user's preferences.
Владельцы ноутбуков оказываются в более winning position, because they have to adjust the brightness of the screen can be just two buttons on the keyboard. Usually this is a combination of two buttons - "Fn" and with the corresponding sun icon (left-right keys).
