That's funny. I have Settings->Control Center->Peripherals, but no
Monitor & Display.
Monitor & Display setting is probably present only if xorg videodriver is
used. If you are using proprietary driver, you should use it to control
gamma (this would be nvidia-settings for nvidia driver)
How do you set the Gamma value for the monitor, in Trinity, and in
KDE4?
In kcontrol->Peripherals->Monitor & Display, you can adjust the gamma
with a slider. Alternatively, you can utilize a monitor calibration
file (.icc file) in kcontrol->Peripherals->ICC Color Profile. There is ICC Color Profile, but I have no idea how to
create such a file.
The help is broken. apt-file search iccconfig.html doesn't find the help
file, which is named iccconfig.html. "apt-file update" produces several
occurances of the "Ignoring source without Contents File" error message.
I've looked up "ICC color profile" in the web, which leads to the
International Color Consortium. Such a color profile seems to be a large,
complicated thing. It appears to be some monitor hardware description.
Where do I get this, for my monitor?
From your monitor manufacturer, or by using a calibrator.
