This doublesight DS-265W monitor is outstanding except in one dept. Backlight, this thing is like a super nova. During the day its fine, but at night it lights up my whole room without having to turn on a lamp. I can turn the brightness and contrast down to 47. Then its somewhat better. Anything below 47 and the blacks during gaming are way way to dark I can barely see anything. Which is funny because if I turn it down to say 44 on the desktop its fine, but in games it bad. One thing I do really like is the test on this monitor. It is by far tge clearest and easiest to read out of any monitor I've ever had. I will probably keep it. I just wish their was a way to lower the brightness a bit more. Xtknight any ideas on that???
