If I have an LCD screen connected via DVI to a nVidia graphics card, can you still adjust the brightness/contrast percentage settings via the nVidia software?

Not sure,

Try it?

Won't do any harm, will either work or not

I can't, I don't have DVI output. Only VGA.

I thougth the whole point of DVI was that these settings are automatic, maybe with special software, sure someone will enlighten us

Yes you can. I haven't felt the need to on my rig but you can if you want too.

Yes, you definitely can.

What brightness/contrast settings have you got set on the actual monitor itself?

brightness gets varied, right now its on 100%. Colours are 33/32/32...but I've messed with the secret menu (which I'm having trouble getting rid of) and so these may look awful on your screen.

Ok mate. How do you access the secret menu? Thanks

You don't want to do it! Best left alone, its used to normalise the screens before they are shipped. I reset the usage timer which peeves me somewhat and I wonder if having it activated would affect warranty claims...mine is still activated. If you're dead-set, the information is on the web...
