Title: Touch Screen LCD Monitor
Post by: cowboygames on April 04, 2011, 01:10:20 AM
Hi All, is there a way to adjust brightness, contrast and sharpness on the IGT Reel Touch monitors? There's nothing in the set up menus that I can find and I don't see anything in the CPU housing for it either. :103- Any help is much appreciated, thanks

Most LCD monitors have series of small momentary switches, they are usually labelled Menu, Up, Down, Select (they could be in a different order)...press Menu and that should display on the screen a list of adjustments you can make to the monitor...

Good luck & God bless,

I'm no expert, but I don't think LCD monitors will have a sharpness adjustment. They will have brightness, and may  have contrast. (My laptop doesn't.)

LCDs are sharpest in their native resolution. The quality of the image degrades from there depending on which non-native resolution you select.

Of course, maybe the technology has advanced some since I last looked into it.  :71-

I appreciate the replies, but reel touch machines use a differant LCD monitor setup. The screen is integrated into the CPU cabinet in the topbox and doesn't have the normal control panel you find on computer and probably GameKing/I Game monitors. Although I haven't actually seen either of the latter to say for sure. This is built more like a primitive HP Touchsmart computer, but you can't access the software to change screen appearance. I was just wondering if someone had worked on these before and found something I haven't yet.
