Monitor Issues with brightness

MisterEd, that would be great if and only IF, the Menu button did anything when pressed. As I said, I have held the Menu button in for as long as 15 seconds or more and nothing hahppens.

My Hannspree HannsG HT225 HPB monitor's Menu button only functions if there is a video signal to the monitor. I just have to touch it for a moment, pressing it down for longer does not achieve anything.
Assuming it had a video signal when you tried yours & that yours behaves the same as mine then your Menu button is broken & you'll have to accept that you cannot change any monitor settings.

Your arrow buttons are there to navigate the Menu so they do nothing without a functioning menu button.

Everything is done using the controls on the monitor [not your mouse, not your keyboard, just the monitor]
1 Press the Menu button to enter the Menu system.
2 Use the arrows on the monitor controls to highlight the Brightness entry in the list. You can press the left & right arrows to your heart's content moving across all the adjustments you can make [Brightness, Contrast, whatever]. So if one moves you off Brightness, the other arrow will put you back there.
3 Press the Menu button again to enable Brightness adjustment - this is probably also indicated in the onscreen display you are looking at. You will probably now see a popup gauge that is probably similar to that illustrated by MrEd in post #8.
4 Use the arrows to change the Brightness level.
5 Press the Menu button again to save the chosen Brightness level - this is probably also indicated in the onscreen display you are looking at.
6 Press the Menu button again to exit the Menu system.

These instructions have been derived from how I do it on my HannsG monitor and the buttons illustrated by MrEd in post #8.
