 |
|
Zdaemon runs at 120Hz but instead I want it to run on 70hz display...
120hz is too dark and 255 brigthness seems like 192 brigthness, and very dark areas are impossible to see. If i change the gamma, things just get more white. |

W3rd.
Uh, it's mainly due to your video card settings and such. However, if it works, there shouldn't be much difference. I think there is a brightness slider in the display settings if you looked. I truned that up instead of gamma.
You cannot get brighter without getting whiter. |

Your videocard running on a very high refresh rate in Windows doesnt effect the refresh rate in a game.
In fact, i have never ever even heard about refresh rates effecting your brightness, so whatever it is i wonder if you know about it yourself. |

Cathode Ray Tube ? 
Other then that....
Even if i read your very first post, it explains your problem but doesnt ask for any answer.
Anyway, makes perfect sense to me that a CRT monitor has Display settings for Brightness and Contrast too.
Tune those to fit your dooming needs.

and this is the first time i heard someone wanting a lower refresh rate... :D
and if the gamma nor the brightness in DOOM does he trick, then i suggest you start playing some less dark maps :wink:, because there's nothing else i can think of that'll get those dark areas visible. |

| Zdaemon refreshes at 35Hz, period. Try checking the color temperature settings on your monitor. |

Exactly my point. 
No matter what refresh rate , ZDaemon will refresh @ 35 Hz (for now  ).
And Refresh Rates changing brightness levels is something ive never heard of either.
So get your stuff straight GhostlyDeath.
As i said... try tuning the brightness/contrast settings on your monitor. |

well, when i posted this. The forums suddenly died or they died right after my post. dont know why... but, I posted this after ZDaemon's Master Server was Down, so I had to use my browser (since the 'Forums' button was disabled). |

| if the command gamma 3 is still too dark, then theres something wrong with your monitor brightness. |
