How to Make CS:GO Brighter

I found that adjusting the gamma settings along with the brightness in the game really helped. Increased the gamma to make the dark areas easier to navigate without having to max out the brightness and ruin the look of the game. Played like this for years!

First off, try cranking up the brightness setting directly in the game's video settings. Easy and straightforward! If that’s not enough, you can also adjust your monitor's brightness and contrast settings for an extra boost. Don't forget to tinker with the digital vibrance or saturation in your GPU's control panel (NVIDIA or AMD). This can make the colors pop more, making everything easier to see. Lastly, considering adjusting the in-game shader settings can also help brighten up those dark corners without washing out the whole scene.
