I have an EIZO CG210 LCD monitor that is digitally connected to my computer. Its a very expensive monitor that im trying as hard as possible not to screw around with.
Anyways, i was wondering if i could inflict damage to the monitor by sliding the gamma and brightness and contrast settings on the graphicsc card to the extremes.
My mistake is that i already did this without taking precaution first. I needed to make the adjustments to understand something about grayscale.
The thing that i noticed is that when setting the gamma to .5 on the video card, which is normally set to 1 by default, a pure black or near pure black image would suddenly appear dithered or blotted, as if there was spots of lighter shades of black in it.
After putting the gamma back to 1, the spots would go away, but now i notice those same spots appearing when i have a pure gray background image. I cant recall if that pure gray containing those spots was also occuring before i adjusted the gamma on the graphics card.
So is it possible to damage the monitor by adjusting the gamma on the video card?
On the same note, is it unhealthy or potentially damaging to set the brightness to maximum on the monitor. In this case, im not touching the graphics card. Im saying this because on my sisters cheapest of cheap LCD display, the display looks like its about to leak the liquid crystals when the brightness is set to maximum. The CG210, of course, doesnt show any such effect.
Im so god damn paranoid of damaging this monitor that cost me over 3000$.
