[QUOTE="shedrick56, post: 720671, member: 66214"] Right, display is set to mirror and I can see a very dim repeat of the Mac screen. If I chose calibrate, the first thing I am asked to do is turn the monitors contrast up to max. This makes a tiny difference to the very dark screen. I can just about make out the circular shape that I am supposed to be looking at. It next tells me to increase the brightness unil the gray shape within the black circular shape is just visible. Increasing the brightness has no effect on the monitor at all (neither did it on the LCD TV I tried). So, the picture on the external monitor is well defined (as far as I can tell) but so dark it is impossible to use. Is this likely to be a problem with the DVI output from the Mac or the DVI-VGA converter? [/QUOTE]
