I've been noticing recently that my 19" monitor is a lot darker than most other monitors. It's like if I have standard lower brightness or contrast control. I don't know exactly what's wrong and I have no idea but I'm trying to find a way to get it brighter. Thanks if you can.

fiddle with the brightness, contrast, and gamma until you get what you want. it can take a while, of course.

I had the same problem. It was solved when I went to Start >> Settings >> Control Panel and found a program called ATI Gamma Control that had been installed along with my video card software. In the Gamma Control program, I found I could adjust the monitor back to a "normal" level of brightness that I couldn't get with just the controls on the monitor itself.
Other video cards may install similar software. What kind of video card do you have?

Voodoo 5 5500.
I was looking for a place to deal with gamma, but so far no luck.

If it's an old LCD you might need to buy a new one.
I hear they get dim after a while.
