See if using your vendor supplied video card's manager s/w does anything for you, like "gamma setting", or play with it. If this LG is actually "plasma" rather than LCD type, these tend to bright but will lessen over time. If nothing seems to correct or settle down, then return the new monitor quickly within the warranty period, don't lag here, time is of the essence in how the warranty is handled.
I had to replace my crt monitor and I went with an LG LED 19",but even with the brightness setting at it's lowest setting it is still to bright.Is there a 3rd party software program that I could use to correct this?My OS Vista home premium
