Adjusting brightness and contrast on an ASUS monitor?

4

I feel really silly having to ask this but I can't figure out how to use the brightness and contrast buttons on my ASUS VS247H monitor. The buttons are clearly labeled but they don't seem to do anything. I've tried a quick press, long press, and in different "mode" contexts. The on screen setup menu shows the values for brightness and contrast, but they're always grayed out.

I just had this problem and discovered it was because I had "eco" mode turned on (under system setup).

It's been 3.5 years, and I have a different Asus monitor, but to fix this I disabled Game mode and Eco mode in the system setup, and changed the splendid mode to standard. After that I was able to adjust brightness and contrast separately.

I fixed this problem by doing this in the screen menu:

System setup > All Reset > Yes

I just got this screen, but it appears it locks all the modes in the 'splendid' tab...
