Help with monitor

[D22369 0]

hey all, I have a 3 yr old emachine with a 17" monitor that is steadily getting darker, the brightness is already near max, is it dying or is there something that I can do to fix this problem? I have already de-gaused it. Once in a while when I turn it on its back to normal and looks great, the resolution of print and pictures is fine - just the darkness is the problem.....

I can get another monitor for 100$ but I am cheeeaaapp----- thats a couple of jumps

Thanks;

Unfortunately there's not much you can do about that - the phosphors in CRT monitors wear out over time and cannot be replaced.

The best way to prevent this is to make sure to put the monitor into energy-saver mode when it is not in-use, or use a blank-screen screen-saver. Screen savers which have pretty pictures, effects, etc. do prevent burn-in of patterns on the screen, but they will still wear out the phosphors over time.

Kick it off the desk and marvel at the loud noise it makes when it hits the floor.
Replace it with a new one and you are all set!
