Corrective Action

My monitor seems too bright or too dim.

Adjust brightness and contrast

Adjust the brightness and contrast on your monitor.

The controls typically are physically located on the front of the monitor.

The correct setting depends on the amount of room light, the age and type of the monitor and the age of your eyes (we perceived less light as we age.)

So, there is no magic setting to offer - spend a little time to experiment to determine the correct settings for you.

NOTE: if you perform graphics design work you may want to calibrate your monitor. How to accomplish the calibration is beyond the Solution Center's scope; contact your IT department for assistance.

Contact your supervisor or IT department for assistance.
