Is there any way to set the brightness on your video card in linux if you use the nvidia drivers? In windows there''s a tab called colour correction or something which has three sliders for brightness, contrast and gamma when you use nvidia drivers. My monitor does do things rather darkly even on full brightness and contrast. So it would be nice to be able to turn it up in software(like I do in windows). So is there any utility availible to do this?

Have you thought about opening your monitor case and tweak the brightness button?

No. It''s digital I couldn''t really adjust it

Also check the monitor, to see if the video signal voltage is set incorrectly; if it expects 1V and only gets 0.7V, it''ll get dark.

Don''t listen to me. I''ve had too much coffee.

Look it''s not really a monitor problem. I just want to know if there''s a way that you can turn up the brightness in software in linux like you can in windows

You could try xgamma (xgamma -h for help). There are probably other programs to adjust such settings, but I haven''t needed them so I don''t know their names.

Thanks Null and Void that''s exactly what I wanted
