I also have an older, darker color monitor.  For the most part, I don't
have a problem with it, but in some color games (most notably "Their
Finest Hour") the colors are so dark that I cannot distinguish between,
say, dark green and black.  This is not a problem on the newer monitors.
Is there an internal pot that I can tweek to brighten up the screen?

Hi me again... 

After reading my statement that there are many adjustments inside the
SC1224, some of you can't believe that I ACTUALLY made the adjustments
when the monitor was ON, and my ST had an image on it.

Method: Turn one adjustment a little one way, and watched the screen,
if it did something good, I turned it some more, if it did something bad,
I turned it back.

Since I had already been stupid enough to make some adjustments, I fiddled
with the rest of them and enlarged the screen, and played with the color.

I might be considered careless, but I felt daring and confident.
If you try this, you can be considered careless too!
