    "Monitor contrast?? HELP!!

    I don't know if this is the correct forum for this problem or not ... I run windows xp (if that matters) I am looking for a way to change the contrast of my monitor ... as it is too bright white,esp online .. is there a way to do this? I ran my troubleshooter but it didnt show any option for that problem ... have checked all the other settings that I know of and still no help and am very flusterated :-(
    Please help me out if you can or direct me to correct place to help me.

    Thanks so much

    What is the make and model number of your monitor?

    It's a Dell flat screen (the one that whole monitor is real flat?) and I don't know the model # .

    I didn't see mine on that link ... it is an older monitor ... 17 in and has
    REV A02 on back of it.
    Thanks for your reply.

    There isn't a model sticker?

    (From the DELL site)
    When a Digital Flat Panel monitor is connected via the Digital Video Interface (DVI) connector, the contrast will be grayed out (unavailable). This is normal, and the flat panel is functioning as designed. While connected via the DVI, the contrast for the flat panel is controlled by the video card.

    If yours is connected as above, are there adjustments available via Control Panel, Display, Settings, Advanced?
