I'm just wondering, I just got going with a dual monitor setup but i have non-matching monitors and my 2ndary monitor is noticably darker than my primary and I want to make it brighter. (the external controls don't give me enough brightness). I know for ATI cards the drivers allow you to adjust it per monitor but how do i do it with my 7800GT?

thanks

Right-click on the desktop, then select Properties, then Settings, then Advanced. That's all that's required with my cheap little 6600 vanilla.

go to the classic nvidia control panel and choose color correction. there you can choose gamma, contrasst, brightness and such.

yes, I know I can do it in the Nvidia panel, and that works for the desktop, but I can't seem to calibrate the overlay/full screen video individually. the settings for those seem to affect both monitors.
