TechHelp: External Monitor
Does anyone know how I can change the brightness/settings for my external monitor without manually doing it?
The buttons in the monitor aren't working and the screen is too bright for me. I searched around and people say its impossible to change it... but is it?
Anyone?
Thanks!

Re: TechHelp: External Monitor
Which operating system, which driver, which monitor?
(My most recent NVidia driver on Win7 adjusts brightness in software)

How do I figure that out?
I have a Vaio Laptop with Windows 7, I dont know how to find driver, but Im using an HP external monitor (it's about 4 years old, the monitor)

Another question, can my 4-yr old external monitor ever damage my laptop? Should I use it or not?

Re: TechHelp: External Monitor
I'm sure it cannot damage your laptop.
About the brightness, as it is an external monitor, no adjustments can be made to push this through. Unless you have a big shot graphic card, which isn't the case in most laptops.
You can however buy screen dimmers to put over your screen.

It does here, and I like it a lot, especially in the evenings

Re: TechHelp: External Monitor
It depends on the software that is included with your driver. I have software on my laptop that was included with it. I can acces it through clicking on the right mouse button and take graphical properties. There I can change even the resolution also from the monitor connected to my laptop.
Don't know whether you have something similar but no harm to check I think
