MSI mag251rx too dark / optimal colour settings

Post by Swiish » 01 Nov 2020, 15:42

I love my mag251rx, I think it has great colours and on the "Fastest" setting it gets the job done. The problem is this thing is too damn dark. I've recently been playing Tarkov again and the game is so much easier to play on my second monitor (Asus vg248qe). I understand you can't really change the actual brightness setting on the monitor itself but are there any workarounds for this? Third party programs? What are the optimal colour settings for this monitor? Thanks again guys!

Gamma setting in NVIDIA Control Panel can help greatly.
