I have an CyberVision C70 hooked up to a Quicksilver.
I'm trying to adjust the monitor in the Display Calibrator Assistant. The monitors brightness is all the way up and the screen is still to dark according to the calibrator. The gray oval and the two rectangles in the Display Calibrator Asst. are completely black.

What can I do to calibrate the monitor correctly?

How old is it?.... CRTs dim as they age, so if it's getting on in years and use that might be the culprit. Is there an input voltage choice in the monitor's controls? It would usually be between .7v and 1.0v. If there is, try switching it from whatever it's on to the other, see if that brightens it up. That worked on my LaCie 22Blue at work.

Unless you have mistakenly set the input voltage, as suggested earlier, it's aging. How old is it?

All kinds of monitors will dim with time. After three to five years, the brightness is usually reduced by half. What you see is just a regular side-effect of aging, time for a new monitor, I would say.

i looked for an input voltage choice, no joy. this thing must be old. it looks old. my wife got it from a sale at her work, so i don't think she would know how old it is.

thanks for your help!
