shagrat Posted January 28, 2024 Posted January 28, 2024 By default the WinWing MIP display screens are pretty dim. Though there are no brightness/contrast controls, there is a neat little freeware tool called "ScreenBright" that uses a specific protocol (DDC/CI Display Data Channel/Command Interface) to set graphics settings to these kind of displays. Simply download the tool (comes in a Zip-file) extract the ScreenBright exe and start it (no installer, just a graphical tool to command the settings). All your monitors are presented as tabs. Note the Values on the info bar at the bottom, before changing settings with the sliders and if you are happy, save them. Try not to save too often, from what I could research these settings are usually saved in an EEPROM which will wear down if written excessively. Though this should not be an issue, as you want to adjust the brightness and contrast only once. I've set mine to Brightness 88.9 and Contrast 50.0. 1 Shagrat - Flying Sims since 1984 - Win 10 | i5 10600K@4.1GHz | 64GB | GeForce RTX 3090 - Asus VG34VQL1B | TrackIR5 | Simshaker & Jetseat | VPForce Rhino Base & VIRPIL T50 CM2 Stick on 200mm curved extension | VIRPIL T50 CM2 Throttle | VPC Rotor TCS Plus/Apache64 Grip | MFG Crosswind Rudder Pedals | WW Top Gun MIP | a hand made AHCP | 2x Elgato StreamDeck (Buttons galore)
Wostg Posted January 28, 2024 Posted January 28, 2024 Thanks for this - I would have just said use the Displaylink app but in truth it often decides not to let me change a particular screen for whatever reason I can think of nothing heavier than an airplane I can think of no greater conglomerate of steel and metal I can think of nothing less likely to fly
Aronis Posted April 15, 2024 Posted April 15, 2024 Shagrat, I was on their website reading, looks legit but I am always wary of "free software" like this. If I get a virus, I'll just cry Mike

Aronis Posted April 15, 2024 Posted April 15, 2024 I had Monitorium installed and that was only able to work with two of the three MDF's unless you buy it. It's max brightness was not quite enough. I just tried ScreenBright and my prior increased brightness settings for Monitorium were still active (despite uninstalling monitorium) and I was able to match up the third monitor. But it still is not bright enough. I have to learn more about Reshade. Mike
MustangSally Posted April 15, 2024 Posted April 15, 2024 Reshade just works Ryzen 9 7950X3D - MSI MAG X670E TomaHawk MB, ASUS ROG Ryujin III 360 AIO 64gig Corsair DDR5@6000, Gigabyte GeForce RTX 4090 AORUS Winwing Super Taurus, Orion2, TO / Combat panels, Collective with Topgun MIP Winwing Skywalker pedals, NLR Boeing Mil Edition Simpit, 55" Samsung Odyssey Ark, Trackir
rob10 Posted April 16, 2024 Posted April 16, 2024 I would agree that ScreenBright helps and I'm happy I did it for daytime flights. But it can't really do enough for nighttime so Reshade is the best option for that. If you search around here there is a good video on how to set it up.
