1. A method for adjusting a monitor control parameter associated with a monitor, the method comprising the steps of:

  • receiving a first input signal requesting to adjust the monitor control parameter;

    quering the monitor for status of the monitor control parameter, the quering step further comprising the steps of;

    quering the monitor to determine if the monitor is a monitor type that allows adjustment of monitor control parameters;

    identifying which of the plurality of monitor control parameters is capable of adjustment;

    determining a present value of the first of the plurality of monitor control parameters;

    determining a precision value of the first of the plurality of monitor control parameters, thereby determining a smallest significant increment for the first of the plurality of monitor control parameters;

    adjusting the monitor control parameter responsive to receiving the first input signal and according to the status of the queried monitor control parameter; and

    repeating the steps of receiving, quering and adjusting for a plurality of monitor control parameters.
