Just a quick question from a HT newbie.
I am play several on-line pc games and I just recently hooked my pc upto my home theatre through DVI cable.
I have a dual monitor sustem running right now.
My normal monitor and my Dlp Projector.
My question is on how to adjust the brightness of my projector. Everything appears so much darker and it is hard to read dark lettering and characters in the game.
Brightness controls from my onscreen menus do not seem to help and I am not knowledgeable enough to get to indepth with the menu's.
Any help is appreciated.

Some games have gamma and other settings in their options. Outside of games try to play with contrast and brightness. You might also calibrate the input with Digital Video Essentials or Avia played through a computer based DVD player. It may not be perfect for game settings (there is no standard) but it will get you closer to where you want to be and then you can adjust from there.
