On the road....
I have a 19inch CRT Tiny A1996NST Monitor, but cannot find a driver for it (XP).

My Gfx card reports it as a "default monitor" but it is quite dark - especially noticable in dark games!!! :p- and I wonder if the correct driver for the thing may help.

Trouble is, with Tiny being defunct, I cannot seem to find any drivers for the thing.

Could it (the monitor) have been made by a 3rd party? I've done some Googling but only seem to find "Lite-On" products that match the model number.

They make CD/DVD drives don't they? :confused:

Cheers for any help. :)
 
You don't need a driver for a CRT. If it's dark just increase brightness. If it generally looks dull, increase contrast.

Both are maxxed (brightness & contrast on the monitor) I can screw about using my Nvidia driver settings to sort the brightness to a degree, just thought a driver may have helped.

New monitor time tbh (built in 1998! :o)

Cheers. :)

Old CRT's are often dull compared to modern TFT's, so your probably just used to using a TFT.

I quite agree, CRT's are crap! :D

The daft & annoying thing is I bought a CRT for my daughters pc the other day, £5 from a market stall, its contrast, brightness etc are spot on

Tbh, I'm probably going to down grade to this monitor & she can have my dark 19 inch!

I'll get a TFT in the spring probably.

Cheers. :)
 
Drivers won't help with the brightness, but if it's too dull you can increase the video card desktop and gaming brightness to compensate. Dull CRTs usually mean it's old and been used a lot (the phosphor wears out through use), or it's faulty.
