Urgent: Adjusting brightnes on LG monitor?

Hi u all,
I got a sweet monitor for christmas, the LG L200WJ. The only problem is that the software that came along for adjusting settings such as brightness, contrast and so on is for windows only . And the monitor itself has nothing but a power button on it (very nice design though...
So the question is, how is it then possible to adjust these settings? Can it be done through my Macbook? Any other 3.party program?
Just for the record, I rang LG support and they told me they couldn´t help me with this problem as long as I was using a Mac... i-n-c-r-e-d-i-b-l-e......
I really do hope this is solveable, the monitor is so neat that I would rather not exchange it for another uglier one..
best holiday rgds,
Roger

Hi John,
and thank you for your answer.
I found a solution which I´m pleased with, and it´s called Shades. It lets you install a preference pane in System Prefereces, which again gives you the opportunity to adjust all your different connected monitors in a really easy way. This way I won´t have to return this nice looking monitor...
Anyone with the same issue as myself will find Shades here:

Another option I ran into on my search is BrightnesControl, a small and really simple program:

Iweb auto adjust for different computer monitor settings

Nobody has the same display settings on their monitor, so how can I get iweb to auto adjust to different computer monitor settings?

Are you referring to screen size? If so many prefer to have their browser window set to the size they want unlike PCs in which the browsers usually always fill the screen blocking out the desktop.
Why not set your site width to a size that can be utilized by all, desktops, laptops and mobile devices. Apple recommends 980 pixel width for that.
There was a post about this some time ago with, if I recall correctly, some code to do that. I think Cyclosaurus posted it but am not sure.
I know its a personal preference but when I land on a site that forces my browser to fill the screen I leave and don't go back.

CS4 - Is there a way to adjust gamma for second monitor or send to overlay?

One thing that is evident when I edit in Premiere CS4 using the AVCHD 1080i 60 template is that the preview in the second monitor, which in my case is my TV set connected using a DVI to HDMI cable, is that the output is too dark compared to what it should be. Darker areas of the frame sometimes even get crushed into black when the same footage, when played directly from the camcorder, or even burned to blu-ray and played, is noticeably brighter and at the right black levels.
This doesn't happen when editing in Vegas Pro 8, or when the untouched footage is played through other video player, including Windows 7 Media Center.
A workaround for this problem can be to go to the graphics card control panel, in my case ATI Catalyst, and adjust the gamma for the second monitor, with the problem being that when you're done editing in Premiere you have to go back to the normal gamma. At one point I had setup two profiles in Catalyst with shortcuts and it worked well, but one day Catalyst simply lost the profiles and noticing how buggy it was I wasn't going to keep creating profiles so that Catalyst would delete them.
So my question is, since it's not in the preferences, is there some settings file or registry address that I can tweak to make Premiere display a brighter gamma of my choice?
And this may be a dead end, but is there a way to send the output of the second monitor to the overlay so that it can take advantage of the graphic's card video capabilities and display video smoothly? It's nice to have a preview of the timeline, but it's rather annoying if I have to go to the Catalyst control panel and adjust gamma before editing and after editing and that motion is jerky and not interlaced when I'm editing interlaced content.

You need the VESA mount option. That way your minimum angle would be completely vertical and you could open it to a negative 10 degrees.
Hope this helps.

Adjustment lag using external monitor with 4.3

I have an Eizo external monitor connected to my MBP and use the external for editing. I have been doing so for a couple years now and with all versions of Lightroom (even 4.2). I have always been able to see the changes/edits real-time on the external monitors when adjusting something with one of the LR sliders. Ever since I installed the latest LR update (4.3)- I don't see changes realtime. I have to wait until I let go of the mouse/slider to see the changes/adjustments. Anyone else having this issue? Is there something g I can do to fix it?

I believe that change was made in order to improve performance in the Develop module. If it's causing a problem in your workflow, you might like to report it here: Official Feature Request/Bug Report Forum

RGB settings unexpectedly reset when adjusting brightness on HP2509b monitor

I am trying to modify the RGB values and brightness settings of my HP2509b monitor so that the the images on my screen more accurately reflect the prints that I receive from my photo lab.
After I modify the RGB settings so that the White Balance on my screen matches the print pretty closely I then attempt to lower the brightness to adjust that setting more closely to what I see on my print as well. Upon reducing the brightess by only 1 value, my RGB values instantly reset to the 6500K preset.
WHY????

Thomas,
the free GMB program Calibration Tester shows the
contents of the graphics card LUTs.
Altogether three programs, mentioned here on p.20:
http://www.fho-emden.de/~hoffmann/measgamma10022004.pdf
If the luminance settings of the monitor are above
the target value e.g.100 cd/m2 for a calibration
by instruments, then the graphics card LUTs are
trying to reduce the luminance (old example in the
doc, also p.20), for instance from 110 to 100 cd/m2.
Such a case would reduce the resolution a little.
As tested by Eizo CG19:
The adjustment of the monitor by monitor menues
doesn't affect the graphics card LUTs. In fact,
the calibration by GMB ProfileMaker5 guides the
user to adjust the monitor dynamically/interactively
so, that the LUTs contain finally almost no correction.
In this sense the old example above wasn't perfect.
This is the classical method, which I'm applying as
well to Eizo CG19, though this monitor offers a
calibration by ColorNavigator, based on monitor-
internal LUTs with 10 or 12 bits per channel
(leaving the graphics card LUTs at identity y=x).
For certain reasons I'm not using this feature.
One reason: then it would be impossible to have a
look at the contents of the LUTs.
Theoretically the result should be better for high
resolution LUTs, but I wasn't able to detect banding
or posterization after applying the classical method.

Adjusting resolution on secondary monitor

Hi, I am trying to use a Samsung SyncMaster 2253NW LCD as a secondary monitor (via VGA). The optimal resolution for that display is 1680x1050 (same as my MacBook Pro) but the max res that I am allowed to select for the 2nd display is 1400x1050. Anything I can do?
Thanks a lot!!

Thanks a lot for your help! You are probably right since I read somewhere else (at least for other MacBooks), that the max resolution that you can get over the VGA is 1600x1200 which is what I am getting. I have a 15 inch MacBook Pro with the high resolution screen but I don´t think this will change the max resolution that you can get over the VGA. Unfortunately, my monitor only has a VGA input so the solution might be to get another monitor with a DVI connection. Thanks again and any more advice is welcomed!!!

How do I use an external monitor with my MacBook??

Hi,
I recently purchased my MacBook, but when I am at home, I want to be able to use my MacBook like a normal computer, by plugging a keyboard, mouse and my existing LCD monitor to it.
What do I need to purchase to enable this and what system settings do I need to adjust to get my monitor to work?
Could I have my laptop closed while i am using my external monitor? How do I do this? I don't want my MacBook open, while I am using my monitor!! Can someone please give me a simple step by step guide on how to turn on and use my laptop which my external monitor plugged in.
Thank you very much for your help.

Shortly,yes,if your Display connected,just close it and than click the mouse it'll wake up in external display.

How can I use my Samsung 193p as a second monitor?

I am trying to use my Samsung 193P Monitor as my second monitor. It usually has great contrast and good color when attached to my PC. I plugged it into my imac using a DVI to mini DVI adaptor I bought at the apple store. Now it has awful color and the whites are a muddy grey. There do not seem to be any drivers to download. I've called Samsung and Apple and they have no ideas. It is at 1280x1024. Does anyone have any ideas for me? Is there a way to get the monitor communicating with my imac?? Thanks.

Thank you for the suggestions. I tried again. The thing about the Samsung 193P is that it doesn't have any external "buttons" to push for contrast and brightness. You are supposed to use MagicTune to do this, but of course, that is not compatible with mac. Without any adjustments, it usually looks great on a PC. Do you think I could use my Spyder to calibrate it with the mac? Could I only calibrate the 2nd monitor? I don't want to adjust the new mac monitor in any way. Would that be an option?

please suggest me any two tools which can be best to go with considering cost and effectiveness and with single licenece only for all servers. can have upto 6 servers including dev/qa and 20 instances on them.
please need urgent.

How do I calibrate the monitor to the printed photo for equal color tone and brightness?

Where in the program do I calibrate the monitor color to the resulting printed color. My printed photo is much duller and "blacker" than the monitor. Other color programs has a setup section to plug in the monitor's ICC profile along with the printer used so the resulting printed photo is very close to your adjusted photo on the monitor.

I just got my laptop and I'm a photographer. It is very important to get my laptop similar in color to my photos. So when they are printed they look similar to most basic commercial printer (Walgreens etc) I had no problem on my old computer. My Satellite seems very bright and the people looked washed out. I used th ctrl, alt f12 key and there was a contrast adjustment. I just can't seem to get a nice natural color from the computer. Can someone let me know what they use or what looks good to them. The factory default seems way to bright and people look to bright?? Thanks so much in advance...

Fuzzy hdtv external monitor

I've had this problem a while but its really getting on my nerves. I have a 37" hdtv as an external monitor for my window desktop. Every once in a while I want to use it with my macbook pro - when I initially did this everything worked fine. Then a while ago I was playing with the settings and changed something, might have been overscan or something like that, cant really remember. Now the hdtv looks "fuzzy" the picture quality is really bad. I've tried changing all of the settings in system preferences as well as resetting some options. The infuriating thing is if I rotate the screen 90, 180, or 270 degrees the picture quality is great again, but of course its upside down so it is not useable. When I switch back to normal orientation it is fuzzy again.
any suggestions on what I can do to get good picture quality again?

never mind, user error. Needed to push the auto-adjust button on the monitor itself.
