Does anyone know the relationship connecting the value that the 
computer stores in RAM and sends to the monitor, and the actual intensity of 
the light emitted by the monitor? It is obviously non-linear, but then the 
eye senses light in a non-linear fashion. Is it the function of the Dto A 
converter in the monitor, or the phosphors, or what?

Thank you in advance
