Ok. I will set in MX-Tweak the brightness in 1.0

If that doesn't resolve maybe I change from redshift to xsct.

Thank you very much!!!

Which application sets up gamma? Videos get very dark with gamma 0.625:0.37:0.417 (Which application generated this configuration? .config/MX-Linux/MX-Tweak/brightness/)
I edited manually for gamma 1:1:1 and the image in the videos got clearer.

Any ideal gamma configuration suggestions?

any color temperature app is going to change the gamma. its how the do their color shifting.

the save feature of the mx-tweak brightness tool will save whatever the gamma is when the brightness is set, but it doesn't change it.

the command generated in .config/MX-Linux/MX-Tweak/brightness is safe to delete. you should get default values on next log in.

FYI: mx "test" repo is not the same thing as debian testing repo.
