So all LCD monitors I have owned so far have had so called brightness control, but they have always only controlled the backlight. This has become more and more of a problem for me since many games (especially console ports) are made with the 16-235 standard in mind, not the pc 0-255 range of nuances. So for example the worst case scenario for this is NFS Undercover which has brightness controls, but on my Benq E2400 I have to reduce brightness in the game to 0% in order to get proper blacks in the game calibration screen. When I do that the gamma becomes seriously messed up and all the colors become over saturated.
On all tv sets the brightness control actually does what you'd expect so in Undercover I can have the in game brightness at 50% and reduce the tv brightness setting to get proper blacks.
I want to have real brightness control on a monitor, so which ones do? I mean old crt monitors had proper brightness control so it can't be that hard to do on a lcd as well.
