GWX3G - Is it normal to experience this level of darkness?I mean ZERO visibility!

Thanks OLC,

I tried the callibration you sent me,contrast maxed out,brightness all the way down.Increased brightness to 95%,this the level I can just see a difference in the first 2 black boxes.The result is a poor washed out screen,with black looking more like a dirty thinned out grey,and white is too dazzling.My previous 89% is about as perfect as I can get it,without losing detail in shadows.I actually got my method of callibration from the readme of an old game of mine,Thief Deadly Shadows,which is virtually all played in shadow.

It appears all monitors clearly have differing black and white points,and you would expect different,sometimes extreme results.Interesting though about the Gamma correction.

And,would you recommend a 100% contrast?,as it makes bright objects very dazzling,sometimes blurring out the true 'white' effect.

I will play around a bit more yet
