    I have an Aspire 6930 and would like to modify the screen contrast and brightness for watching a Netflix movie on-line. I've searched everywhere and can't find a way. Anyone know how to do this?

    I use this to fix a bit of my oversaturated greens on my 8730G

    Gamma Panel Control: http://majorgeeks.com/Gamma_Panel_d2796.html

    Its not perfect, but I'd like to think that its one of the better onitor adjusment software out there.

    On my Acer 9301 (NVidia GE force GO6100 graphics) I found a much better driver, of all places from Windows update by using the "show compatible hardware" option on the driver update menus.
    Has full range of options, contrast, gamma, tint, digital enhancements etc. The original notebook driver has none of these options.

    Hi, I never use the drivers from windows update as they are often not the full package and as up to date as supplied by the oem. Anyway, back to the op, all the adjustments should be within the control panel of the driver itself, if you've a ATI gfx card then 'right click' the icon to the bottom right of your screen then 'left click' on catalyst control centre and go to desktop properties and then color...
