I would really like to solve this problem....
I am stuck here.. could it be both monitors are too "dim" for the picasso iv ?
I am using a standard PC CRT monitor which i found at work
I agree with Severin - CRTs gradually lose brightness with age, and can appear very dull, especially since you're probably used to looking at LCDs. (Even new, high quality CRTs can look a bit dim in comparison.) Adjusting the LOPT can help, you might want to tweak the focus adjustment(s) as well (usual caveats apply!).
Hopefully that's all it is... the PIV output itself isn't unusually dim compared to other similar cards.
