I assume that when I change the brightness level on a display that I am increasing or decreasing the output brightness of the backlight.

What am I altering when I change contrast levels? For LCD's do the opacity characteristics of the LCD elements change?.

With Plasmas do the floresenting levels change?




So much to learn, so little time.

Or perhaps just confuse further?
