Just bought an cheap LED monitor (70 euro Laughing ) , but i'm finding a problem to adjust it for my eyes. Laughing
It's either too bright or too dark. Rolling Eyes
When i decrease the brightness, contrast and gamma it is too dark to read the text at some areas, but when i increase them my eyes are bleeding. Crying or Very sad
Any tips for dummies? Rolling Eyes Laughing

search for your model, then look at the best calibrated settings, or you can get the .ips file (forget what its called?) and it will change some settings for you.

| Corsair Carbide 400R | Asus Sabertooth z77 | i7 3770K @ 4.3Ghz - 1.200v | CM Hyper 212 Evo - Push/Pull |

sounds like what you need is to change backlight intensity without changing LCD panel brightness. your cheap monitor probably doesn't allow you to change that separately, you get what you pay for Laughing

Assuming brightness affects the backlight as in most monitors these days:

1. Go to http://www.lagom.nl/lcd-test/white.php and set the contrast as high as possible without losing white levels. This way you max out the contrast ratio of your screen without blowing out bright colors. Don't care about the screen being too bright at this point.

2. Make a fullscreen 255 white image with paint and view it fullscreen. Adjust the brightness setting to as bright as you find comfortable. This way you'll never find the image too bright since you've adjusted the brightest possible graphic to a comfortable level.

3. Load up a game or a photo or whatever mixed color content image and adjust gamma to your liking so that the image looks good and everything is readable. Since you probably don't have a calibration device, you'll have to wing it. This should not affect your peak light output set above, but will affect the curve of brightness between 0 ( full black ) and 255 ( full white ).
