I have a 17 inch flatscreen monitor and I find that it radiates too much light. I am always squinting because of it especially in the evening when the surroundings are darker.
I have tried to adjust the contrast and so on, but it is not helping. the light level remains the same and I really want it less. can anyone tell me how to do that? I have windows xp sp2

you adjusted the contrast, now adjust the brightness

If adjusting the brightness (as well as the contrast) doesnt work for you, then you may want to look at how you are sitting in comparison to the the monitor.
Are you right up on it?
Have you been staring at it all day long?
Do you have these issues when you first start using the computer in the morning?
If none of these apply, and you cant do any more through the monitor settings, you may have some luck by right clicking on the desktop and going to your video settings that way. Depending on the drivers you have, you may have a brightness control there as well.

Right click on the desktop and click properties and settings. Click the advanced tab. Not knowing what you have for graphics, all I can tell you at this point is to look thru the tabs for a brightness or gamma setting.
