I am editing photos. Monitor is much too bright.
Is there a way to get them to look more similar?

You could consider a spectrometer-based hardware calibrator, e.g. X-Rite i1 or DataColor SpyderX.
Use the display controls to adjust it (buttons on the monitor itself).
You should be able to calibrate an external monitor. I have done so multiple times with my i1.
thanks so much for replying so quickly.
I did try adjusting monitor brightness.....but screens just look so different....it may be a quality issue.
the LG 850 gets good reviews and was within my budget, but I may need to get better monitor to
get both screens looking more alike. I don't know which one to trust! the darker or lighter version......
thanks for thinking about this with me.
I did calibrate my MacBook Pro with brand new color munki.
I don't see how to calibrate the monitor that way.....that is why I think I need to get better ie $$$ monitor.
It is frustrating when I try to print.....what looks right on monitor is way to light/bright.....so I end up just relying on screen of MacBook Pro.....which negates having the monitor in first place.
its probably fine for gaming or something.....
thanks for your time
Thanks for your time.
