Samsung LCD Monitor Problem

[SoulFire]

I guess this qualifies as a problem, but I just got a new Samsung LCD Monitor, model 931BF.  I've installed the drivers with the disc it came with, but somehow, I cannot adjust the brightness of the monitor.  When I press Menu to select it, it says the feature is "Not Available", so I can't select it.  
The other colour ones also do not work.  

I hope someone can help me out.

What about the video card options or the bottons on the front panel?.

That's what I tried, but alas, it doesn't work.  Reading the manual doesn't help either.

This is just a workaround but..
 Contrast and Gamma adjustments should get you the desired brightness you want, mainly Gamma.

Im a noob pretty much and dont know much about LCD displays but maybe they work diferently then CRT monitors in that brightness adjustment is not an option on certain models.

Try boosting the Gamma setting and see if that gets the desired result.
