    3 Iiyama monitors

    I had two Iiyama ProLite E431S. Tried to buy a third one, but they did not sell them anymore in the US. They sold H431S. So I bought it. Now, it is the center piece. Bright. Legible. Great for my old eyes. And the two old ones are, in comparison, like an overcast day in October. Its terrible. They don't measure up. Does anyone know what I could do in regards to settings to make the old fogies brighten up?

    Regards,

    Hans L

    Adjust the gamma/contrast/brightness value in driver and see how if you can get the same colour.

    alternatively... and rather stupidly.. you could turn your new one DOWN to match the older ones.

    Okay, I'll try to adjust. I think that gamma might be the crucial setting.

    "Downing" the other two would probably not be so terribly bad, but my eyes love the brightness of the new monitor. The two old ones look, as I implied, gloomy.

    Arthur, what do you actually mean by "in driver"?

    I can't adjust the older monitors (using the buttons/menus on the front) to get better color and brightness.
