The controls for your display device should include a Reset or Recall command that
can be invoked to perform this function. Most displays have this function in the on-
screen controls. Some displays use a combination of buttons held down at power-on to
invoke the reset. It is advisable to refer to the User Guide for your monitor or check
with the manufacturer’s Technical Support. If there are no default settings available,
50% contrast, and 100% brightness are typical starting points.
It is recommended to confirm the operation of the Reset command by setting the
Brightness and Contrast controls to some known value (like 33 and 77) that is not an
end condition like 0 or 100. Invoke the Reset command and check that the Brightness
and Contrast values have been changed to something else. Default values are often
end conditions like 0 or 100 - sometimes midpoint conditions like 50.
In the following screens instructions for adjusting the Brightness and Contrast controls
are provided. Such adjustments could be necessary in the unlikely case of a display
that does not have a Factory Default setting. These facilities are also given to allow for
those users who wish to experiment with tweaking these controls. However the basic
recommendation is not to adjust the Brightness and Contrast controls of an LCD
monitor or projector away from their Factory Default values.
