I have a ViewSonic vx2835wm monitor. It looks alright on the desktop, but when I run videos through MediaCenter on it they are very dark. Using VLC it looks good when I crank up the brightness, but as this is in the living room and being used as a TV/media center, I'd like to use MediaCenter. Is there a setting somewhere to crank up its brightness similar to VLC? Or is there another codec that I could install that would give me those controls?

if the monitor has suddenly gotten a lot dimmer, it's either the backlight bulbs are dying or the controller board for those lights is dying.
one is relatively easy to fix the other isn't.
I take it you've turned up the monitor's brightness already so try turning up the color temperature.
