I'm looking for a gamma booster

It's pretty simple really...

My screen is too dark with all the brightness options turned all the way up.
I need a gamma booster to make it brighter
I assume maybe there is a program that just runs in the background that brightens the screen.
If somebody knows how to help... please....

Thanks for your time.

Your video card should come with some options in the advanced display properties. What kind of video card do you have? Do this to check for yourself:

(for ATI based cards)

right click on desktop and select properties -> settings tab -> advanced -> color

Nvidia or others should be similar, just increase the brightness or the gamma.

ok... I did the right click desktop > properties > settings > advanced > color management

but I don't see what to do from there.

there is a window to add "color profiles"

when I click the add button, there are several profiles. but I just select one of them. Can I edit a color profile? Is there a gamma adjustment I can do to a color profile?

just in the settings of the display properties, what does it call your video card?

1. Plug and play monitor on xxxxxxxxxxxxx(your video card)
