A question about those old "tube monitors"...

[Creavion]

Well still have an old "tube monitor/CRT display [whatever]" (*caught* dont have currently the needed money for a new one)
Well the monitor is still fine, although it is now many years old (7,5 years or so). The problem is: it is only a little bit dark in windows. From games like Quake 3 or even UT1 I know, it is much brighter ingame through brightness correction or something like that.
Well, to make a long story short: Does something like this exist - a program for windows which allows me to set / change the brightness etc of the monitor, because I have already set the monitor brightness for example to 100 %, I can not raise there anything more.

In my case I can do that in the settings of my graphic card.
You should have a green icon near the clock (since your card is a nvidia), click in it, go to the control panel, then go to screen or monitor tree, and then in one of those things (you have to find where in yours) under the tree (diagram) you should find the brightness settings, as other settings.
Well, all this in a Windows XP system, I don't know where that icon is located in a Vista based OS.

MEGA LEET, THANKS *never thought to search THERE.. Oo*

I just use powerstrip. It's a program that lets you modify color, size, resolution of the display, even possible to create custom resolutions. It can change clock speeds, and other performance related tweaks, and all these can be configured to any program your computer runs.
It's really the only program you'll ever need for display modifying. Works on ANY COMPUTER. (that runs windows), even that old 486 running win98.

Really? I didn't know that program. It seems really usefull , but I guess there isn't anything better than the programs that come shipped with the graphic cards, even because you can always complain if there's anything wrong with their own program. But this is just my opinion.

True, programs that come whit graphics card usually always works. But what if the're aren't any programs? Or in my case, not good enough? Old vid cards don't have fancy brightnesschanging features.
For me power strip is one of them not really known programs that KICKS SERIOUS ASS.

Yeah, in case of older graphic cards, or new without good programs to do that, of course that's an excellent program. I am one of the guys that didn't know about that program existence.
Thanks for the info Myth.
