Adjusting your monitor color and contrast.

Adjusting your monitor's color and contrast.

You can now check out your monitor's contrast and brightness settings using the image below. Try to set them such the colors below are nice and deep, and also that you can see both the second brightest and the second darkest steps simultaneously. The black and white bars at the bottom should appear smooth. If you see them as having steps, like the other bars, it's because your monitor has been set to 8-bit color. You'll need to reset it to "millions of colors".
