DELL (or LCD) monitor with low brightness in GWX nights.some help (almost a fix) here

I have found that with my Nvidia card.... if I go into the NVIDIA Controls, Color Correction...I have a setting for "Digital Vibrance" ... default was OFF.

So I set it to LOW (the lowest I could and get LOW to come on), and set my brightness at 103% at and that improved night vision in GWX GREATLY. And it hasnt washed out everything like jacking with your gamma settings.

Gotta love all the crap they throw in graphics card drivers with NO explaination of what it does.....

which control panel are you using?

Bah...its the older one. The new Control Panel (I hate it) you have to go under "Adjust desktop color settings" to find the Digital Viberance slider....

Nice one! I just upgraded my graphics card to an nVidia 7300 GS and nighttime was so dark that I couldn't even make out the silhouettes of the bridge crew. Came on here to see if there was a quick fix and this (switching on the digital vibrance) seems to have done it

been trying to "re-invent the wheel" to get GWX to show up brighter.
