Hi,
This icon indicates the BRIGHTNESS control, more properly called
BLACK LEVEL. It adds or subtracts an offset, or bias, into the red,
green, and blue signals. This control should be adjusted so that black
picture content displays as true black on your monitor. Misadjustment of
this control is the most common problem of poor quality picture
reproduction on computer monitors, video monitors, and television sets.
Later in this document, I will explain how to set this control
properly. The setting is somewhat dependent upon ambient light. Modern
display equipment is sufficiently stable that frequent adjustment is
unnecessary.
This icon indicates
the CONTRAST control, preferably called PICTURE. It applies
a scale factor (gain) to the red, green, and blue signals. It affects
the luminance (proportional to intensity) that is reproduced for
a full white input signal. Once BRIGHTNESS is set
correctly, CONTRAST should be set for comfortable viewing
brightness.
The gamma can be controlled through Video Card utility which can usually be accessed by going to display properties.Depending on your video card software you may be
able to right click your desktop, select properties, select settings
tab and then choose advanced, towards the bottom. In there you may find
a tab called Monitor and under that tab you may or may not (depending
on your video card software) be able to adjust your color correction
settings(gamma & brightness & contrast).. Right click on the desktop and then select Properties
2. Click on the Settings tab and then click on the Advanced button.
3. Click on the Color Correction tab and you will see settings for Brightness, Contrast, and Gamma
