I have an ELSA Gladiac GeForce2 GTS 32 mb and an AOC Spectrum 9GlrsA 19" monitor. I've noticed that no matter how high I turn up the brightness (in games and movies), the screen is still awfully dark. The brightness on the monitor is as high as it gets. Any ideas on why its so dark? Is it just not a good monitor or what? Any help would be appreciated.
