Help with Brightness

I built a new computer (all inclusive --> mouse, monitor, keyboard, mic, headphones, cpu, ram, gpu, etc.). When i started making some changed to my cfg to tune it to my new system, tf2 is VERY dark. I turned up the brightness on my monitor to 100. I also set the max_monitorgamma to 1.6 and that didn't change anything. Now i am playing tf2 with 100 contrast just so i can get somewhat decent lighting (still bad though) but that messes up the colours in movies, other games, etc. In games such as BFH Beta and BF3 there is no such issue. The wierd thing is that when i move around in game the lighting changes, which i don't want. Is there a command to fix this?
I will upload a short video and / or some screenies.

I would highly appreciate it if you could look at my CFG, it finished uploading:

You want to set monitorgamma to 1.6, 2.5 is the darkest.
Edit: Also if you run windowed you can't change the ingame brightness, you have to run fullscreen to change the gamma levels and such.

insomYou want to set monitorgamma to 1.6, 2.5 is the darkest.

I just tried this, didn't work. Where exactly do i type the code for the monitorgamma (i put it in the autoexec)?
I run in fullscreen.

reillyThe command is mat_monitorgamma

I figured that out, tried it and it failed. I do have another issue with my monitor. It randomly changes the brightness (at least i think, i can't confirm it because its on 100 all the time in the settings panel).
Does it have to do with me putting AA on 16x and all settings to max (and still getting more than 300 fps :P)
