Title: My display is set to 100% bright, but images still mostly dark.

I have a AOC Spectrum 7 Glr A , CRT display.  I have never thought it was set correctly.  Is there another way to increase the photos and videos brightness, other than the dial on the front of the display.  I'm running Windows XP Pro and I do not see any tweaks in the Display Controls section.

      Yes they are there, and set to highest brightness and contrast..still dim in viewing images.  Any other suggestions would be appreciated.

Depends on the driver installed on your system for your video adapter
Have you tried Right clicking an empty spot on desktop
Left click Properties>>SETTINGS>>ADVANCED

There may be a setting for Monitor brightness under something like the COLOR button
Take a look, all are a bit different
