Hello.

I have recently aquired an older second hand TFT monitor, Fujitsu x151f.
Otherwise it works perfectly, but there is one major problem. The
display is far too bright even when the contrast and brightness controls
are turned down to zero. If luminosity is further reduced from the video
card to acceptable elevel, the display starts to flicker. I'm now
looking for methods to reduce the luminosity of this TFT display to a
level, where one can use it and work with it without becoming blind (or
at least without headaches and serious pain in the eyes).

Any suggestion to electronically or mechanically make the display usable
is appreciated.



Best Regards

Look in the menu for a back light brightness adjustment. Some LCDs
have two brightness controls. One adjusts the black level of the
signal driving the LCD (basically doing the same thing as adjusting it
in the video card control panel) and the other adjusts the brightness
of the fluorescent tube. You don't want to adjust it with the video
card's control panel because you lose a lot of dynamic range.
