i'd recommend bsplayer. spring the few bucks to get the "we don't ad adware" version, or find it from your favorite source. imho, it's the best player out there for windoze. i particularly like the "boss button" feature, cuz i watch stuff at work, and a single f-key pauses and minimizes the show. that's nice! but the controls for brightness and almost everything under the sun are great. and i haven't yet found a ep that it won't play. |

branch u have a nvidia card? its a problem with geforce drivers that cause video to be so dark, its easy to fix. in your nvidia driver settings just adjust the brightness in your colour correction for the overlay settings. i have to turn my brightness up to 150% otherwise i also have problems seeing dark seens. |

branch it also could be your monitor. my parents monitor is old and when i watched show on it i had to adjust the brightness as well, useing vlc player. i bought a computer and now have a flatscreen hooked it up to there computer without changeing any settings and it was fine. actually it was too bright i had to turn them down. |

in vlc go to settings/extended gui check the activate box and play start the video. now set the brightness at whatever u want. u have to do this every time u start the player (sadly). vlc is great for weird formats but for normal divx/xvid bs player is much better. |

ok, i give up. i've tried everything, but it stays the same. i has to be the monitor, because it certainly is several years old. i think it's time for a new one, then.  but thanks everybody for your help. i appreciate it. |

if it's a crt monitor then it is most likely the monitor. of course what they are suggesting would help with the issue, it doesn't resolve it. monitors just get darker as they age. you can open up older crt monitors and just raise the levels that way. you can get a couple extra years out of them that way but it takes time to adjust and if you over do it you'll blow them and they'll display nothing. you can also do it through software like suggested, of course at a certain point you're just going to give everything a white mask and it will look like crap. |
