How come when i play videos on my computer, the brightness is darker than usual?

Question

I've tried playing the video file with divx winamp and media player but for some reason the file playsback darker than it should. I didn't really have this problem until i downloaded a bunch of codecs. how do i fix this

Answer 1

Try upgrading the device driver. Change the setting in the video properties and see. Usually graphic card drivers control the applications. So try tweaking them as well
