- Over time, the bringhtness of my old NextStation Mono monitor has dropped
- significantly. It was so slow and imperceptable, that I wouldn't have
- complained if someone else hadden't pointed it out to me. The monitor is not
- too bright to begin with, but during the course of the day it slowly gets
- dimmer and dimmer. After I log out at the end of the day, and the login window
- screen saver turns off the display overnight, things mysteriously fix
- themselves. In the morning the monitor appears to be brighter than it was the
- previous afternoon. During the day, the dimming repeats itself. At first I
- thought it was all in my mind (eyes) but other people have mentioned that this
- is hapening to their old monitors as well. Hitting the brightness button
- doesn't fix it since it's already at max.
-
- Anybody else out there with a similar problem? Can it be corrected by a
- tune-up?
