LCD's with backlight adjustment?

Sorry Rich but you are incorrect. On both my Sony and Dell  monitors there is a Brightness, Contrast and Backlight adjustment. The backlight is what he is talking about. Brightness and backl;ight are 2 COMPLETELY different things when it comes to LCD technology.

Hi,

I have a Sony LCD which has a backlight adjustment. Also a Dell 1504FP I have also has a backlight adjustment. If you can download the users manual from the manufacturers website it should tell you if backlight adjustmennt is available.

 

Hope this helps!

All LCD monitors have a backlight adjustment. It's called the Brightness Control! Even if you are using the DVI input the Brightness Control should still be functional. It is on the 1901FP. That's what controls the brightness of the display.

Or are you confusing Brightness with the Contrast? They interact and the Contrast is usually disabled in the DVI mode.

I have looked at the documentation for the 1504FP. I see no separate backlight adjustment mentioned.

You are correct in that some LCD's like the Sony SDM-M81 18" LCD display that I had, had a separate Backlight Control. But to save costs most don't. Some are way too bright because that is what "sells" when you look at one in Best Buy or Circuit City with their super bright lighting. I bought a Samsung 770TFT in a retail store over 3 years ago and returned it because besides it immediately developing a bunch of bad pixels,  once I had it  home there was no way you could adjust the brightness/contrast using a test pattern so that the image didn't burn holes in my eyeballs.

You need to adjust the brightness/contrast for each ambient light condition (day/night, etc.) using a suitable software test pattern such as Displaymate or the free one you used to be able to download from Nokia. There is also free adjustment stuff at MontiorsDirect.

But then many/most LCDs give up control of the Contrast with the DVI input.
