Always glad to help. I've got a 21 inch Dell monitor, set for
1600x1200 dots, brightness of 50 and contrast of 100 (out of 100). I face
the corner of the room, there is a window just to my right which faces
South and looks out on snow (ah, tis the season). But even with the
shades drawn (which I shouln't have to do) it's dark on dark.

I don't understand the variability, but it exists.

On Mary's Dell monitor, it looks much darker than on either of my Dell
monitors at home or at the hotel. However, in all cases it's easily
readable.

It looks fine on my laptop, too.

Ya learn something new every day.
