# Monochrome Monitors: Making Yours Brighter

T have a PC with QXL-Card and SMSQ/E. But I still use a normal German QL with floppies, Trumpcard and a monochrome monitor. It makes no noise and is therefore good for thinking. But with my monochrome monitor (Philips) I had the problem, that the screen was not bright enough for many of my programms.
