- Hi to all...
-
- Our lab has several Mac IIfx's connected to Apple 2-page Monochrome
- monitors. We just
- bought some new Quadra 700's and were looking for new 21" monitors to put
- on them
- (since the Apple monitor no longer exists).
-
- We decided to go with Mirror's 21" GreyScale monitor (plugs into Quadra
- on-board video
- and has a clear, crisp picture).
-
- However, the screens are *very* dim -- much darker than the Apple tubes
- were. In fact,
- they are dark enough that my eyes hurt after a few hours of work (yes,
- i've turned the
- brightness up all the way ;-) ).
-
- Has anyone out in Net.Land seen a similar problem? Got any suggestions?
- Alternatively,
- does anyone know of a 21" monitor that is crisp, etc., but bright enough
- to use for long
- periods of time?
-
- Thanks,
- Doug Merrill
