increase brightness of magic mirror

@j-e-f-f Thanks was hoping for some software to increase the display
-
are you use the module remote-control?
control the brightness in the control menu
Was always set to 50% with me although I did not enter anything. -
hi thanks I did try remote control and yes you are right its 50% but does not always save the settings have to keep going back and change to 100% every few days don’t know why it saves but the dims again, so was looking for anything else people had used.

@dstoneham some monitors have an “eco” mode or something named similar tat automatically adjusts the brightness based on ambient light. See if your monitor has a similar setting, and try turning it off.
-
Yep checked monitor at full brightness no eco settings shame as must be something to increase brightness will keep looking thanks anyway

@dstoneham Do you have a screen with CCFL or LED backlight. If CCFL you could try to replace with a LED strip and see how that works. You can those very cheap already. I did that with an old 17" LCD which had 4 CCFL tubes. Now it has 2 LED strips instead and the brightness increased.
