Borrow another monitor to try first, that will then tell you if it is the monitor. Make sure the cables at the rear are straight, not pushed up against a wall & kinked. Also the connections are tight. degauss monitor http://www.google.com.au/#hl=en&q=degauss+monitor&aq=1s&aqi=g-s6&aql=&oq=degause&gs_rfai=&fp=5b2a89e44e6a9932 Roadkil's Monitor Test http://www.roadkil.net/program.php?ProgramID=20 --- news://freenews.netfront.net/ - complaints: news(a)netfront.net ---
From: Tim Meddick on 28 May 2010 18:35 I have read the other replies. However, before replacing your monitor. Some Video Adaptors (half the display) have their own color / contrast / brightness settings - it just depends what type of adaptor you have and if it comes with some accompanying software. To find out : right-click on a vacant area of desktop and select "Properties". (or goto Control Panel and select "Display") This will bring up "Display Properties". In "Display Properties", click on the "Settings" tab (across the top). Then, on the "Settings page", click on the "Advanced" button. On the "page" clicking on the "Advanced" button brings up, you should see various headings or "tabs". One of which is called "Adaptor", and here, depending what is installed on your system, you can change the refresh-rate and display-mode (size to pixel ratio) . This may help bring out a better display quality just by changing this setting. However, if you are lucky, there will be another page-heading or "tab" (such as Intel (R) Extreme Graphics) and it is on this "page" you can find settings for contrast, brightness and color tone plus options to save your settings as a scheme. The worst is that you don't have these options on your PC , but you would be loosing out if you did have them but didn't look... == Cheers, Tim Meddick, Peckham, London. :-) "D." <wdstk(a)sover.net> wrote in message news:uUH7W6p$KHA.5044(a)TK2MSFTNGP04.phx.gbl... > My fonts have definitely faded . > Is there a setting for this or might > it be time for a " new " monitor ? > TIA , > D. >
