1- most of monitors have a setting or menu button on them where you can change contrast, colour density or any other settings.\n\n2- some graphic cards has the setting panel as well. in order to find out if your graphic card has this function, go to control panel, double click on Display, click on setting tab, click on advance button. you will see a new window with some tabs, one of them should be your graphic card, for example my graphic card is Intel Extreme, so I have a tab with Intel Extreme name. when you click on it, you will have a panel to control contrast of your monitor.

Try opening the Accessibility Options icon within control panel.  If you can open this item then you would select the Display tab and uncheck the "Use High Contrast" checkbox.  Finalize this decision by clicking the Ok button at the bottom of this dialogue window.  This could be a quick way of fixing your problem.  Email me if you still have problems.\n\nYou could also try the shortcut keys...\n\nyou can turn High Contrast on or off by pressing the \nleft ALT+left SHIFT+PRINT SCREEN keys

Right click on your desktop, click properties, click the settings tab, adjust screen resolution.  I'd start at 1024x768 first and then try 1280x1024 and see which one looks the best.  Color quality should be at least 16 bit up to 32 bit.  just play with it and see which one you like best.\n\nyou can also reach these settings by following the instructions the other answer gave you.

Check your Monitors manual for instructions on how to access the built in menu system. Often its obvious like a big menu button on the front!\nAnyway since you don't describe exactly what you mean by light I would suggest trying to reduce the contrast a little and or the brightness.\n\nIf this doesn't give you satisfactory results some graphic cards have system software which allows you to configure the brightness and gamma controls for the video output.\n\nJohn

Your monitor might have a light meter built in to it (there's one on my laptop that can be switched off). This dims the screen in low light conditions, and brightens it when there's a lot of ambient light (it's supposed to save energy and make it easier on your eyes).\n\nTry exploring the menu and look for something like "eco sensor" or "ambient light balance".

You haven't told us what type of monitor you're using, or your OS.\n\nI'm a firm believer in beginning with the simplest adjustments and working up from there.\n\nSo, if you're using Windows XP,  then I suggest trying Microsoft's Clear Type:\n\nTo enable Clear Type:\nRight click on a blank area of the Desktop and choose "Properties";\nClick on the Appearance Tab; Click "Effects";\nCheck the box: "Use the following method to smooth edges of screen fonts"\nThen in the drop down box select: "Clear Type"\nThen Click "OK"\n\n(If you prefer, Microsoft can do it for you:)\nhttp://www.microsoft.com/typography/cleartype/tuner/Step1.aspx\n\nEven if you're using a CRT monitor there should be some improvement. \n\nIf that doesn't help then you may need to change the resolution.\nAgain, you'll find that by by right clicking on your Desktop/Properties/Settings and adjust the slider to the best setting for your monitor or,  try using the adjustment controls on the monitor itself.

Hi,\nThis is Bobby, a Network Engineer by profession. If you are talking about the Desktop Screen then press CTRL and ALT keys together, let the keys be pressed use the arrow keys to adjust the orientation of desktop in any of the four corners as you desire.\n\nAlternatively, right click on Desktop, goto Properties, then click on Settings.It will show option to change Screen Resolution and Colour Properties. Adjust the Screen Resolution Slider to increase or decrease the screen resolution, click on OK. Later you can rollback to yours previous screen resolution, if you desire.\n\nGood Luck... :):)

If you look at your monitor (assuming here that it is a desktop), there should be an area on the bottom that brings up settings for it.  Not just the brightness tab, but look under the contrast as well.  Oh and don't forget to look at the user settings as sometimes those have an effect as well.

Its hard to covert from low to high. High to low is possible.\n\nIf you want high resoulution then you open in photoshop and touch it up like sharpen it up and set the contrast again and save it at high resolution.
