I got a new 20in LCD and I can see great now The big issue is that the game has no way to adjust gamma settings. You either need to adjust your brightness settings on the monitor or adhust the gamma/brightness through your video card.

It sux cause if you have a dark monitor then you need to lighten up everything to play SH3 but that makes it to light for everything else. So you always gotta be screwing with you settings.

I tried the light/dark sky mods but with my old monitor it still didnt remedy the problem. But, like I said, my old monitor was analog and about 6 years old. They tend to darken with age.

Depending on which agp card you have, you might want to look at the ATI 'Omega' driver suit. As part of their 'game profiles' facility you can create individual pre-set screen settings, gamma, brightness + contrast etc. And set the appropriate profiles to load these when a game is played, returning to the original settings when you exit the game. This can be done for any number of game profiles and their required screen setings. www.omegadrivers.net
