Thread: setting screen brightness and contrast permanently

When I exit out of MediaEngine the settings go back to 50/50 like I want. Is there anyway to leave it 50/50 permanently?

-Noa

Go into settings on MEdiaengine and toggle off the autodim feature at night...

haha. thanks.

Okay so my computer has about a 60% chance that it will keeps my settings on my monitor when i start it up. How can I make that permanent? I have a mac mini and a Xenarc monitor. thanks

There is a software solution to that "my Xenarc can't keep the settings permanent" problem: PowerStrip. Install it, run it, go to the color profiles menu and increase the brightness, play with the other options too. The settings become permanent and it is pretty much the same as using the buttons on the Xenarc.

I think that question has been asked before, not sure if the same solution has been suggested before.

Hmm... That doesn't sound right to me. Powerstrip changes the video driver settings, not the actual screen.

If you have a 700TSV, keep the defaults of the screen (brightness/contrast 33,33 I believe) and try increasing the brightness/contrast using powerstrip. Let me know what you see.

Giving it a try........
