I have been working for the last year with the screen set to full brightness so that I could notice the all important minute color differences in graphics. The tiniest difference in color, say for example two blacks, is immensly important when designing websites. You wouldn't believe how important it is unless it was demonstrated to you.
Well, I have recently noticed that although my monitor says it's at full brightness, it actually isn't. Basically, at college today I noticed that the college monitors were extremely bright in comparison, and in turn, I noticed LOADS of graphics errors with my designs. Like for example, all the tiniest brush strokes between different blacks... they all stood out like a mile and made my work look retarded to say the least.
I was confused. My monitor definately said full brightness.
So I got home and pondered buying a new monitor, which in no way could I afford yet. Then after playing around with control panel and all the buttons on the front for hours, I realised that I could set the blue red and green values individually. So I raised all those to full and now I can see what I'm doing!
Should still get a better monitor though.
