There are no processes running that I associate with the display.

I deleted everything I could find that was related to it. I uninstalled the monitor driver so I was left with only the default Windows driver. To try and get rid of this (I couldn't run MagicTune anyway, it always told me I had to reboot) I got the latest version from the Samsung site and installed that. If I switch to a page on that forum with lots of white text, it all goes brighter. For example, if I'm looking at a forum with a black background and only a small amount of white text, the whole display goes a little darker most noticeably including the Opera screen around it. I almost immediately noticed a problem: when I'm not displaying much that's bright, the overall monitor brightness drops. This included something called MagicTune and something called LCDGammaTray (or similar). It was running absolutely fine, but like some sort of masochistic moron I decided to install the drivers for it from the CD. I have a Samsung 226BW running in Windows Vista.
