Sony GDM-F520 - Brightness / clarity issue

Jul 13, 2005 1 Replies

Hi all,



I don't have much experience with regards to computer monitor repair etc, and I was hoping somebody could help me.



I have a Sony GDM-F520 monitor that has been functioning fantastically for approximately 2 years. I am now in my 3rd year, and when I first turn the monitor on, the brightness is extremely high and the display is hazy / fuzzy.



When I first received the monitor, I had the brightness set to 48, and contrast to 100 for a clean picture with black being black. I now must set the monitor to 25 brightness for the same effect.



Over time the haziness seems to slowly become crisper (as the monitor warms up) however, the brightness issue does not get any better.



Is the monitor dying? It was quite expensive, and I expected a longer life than 3 years.



Thank you, Raj.


Look at the site below! This is a great unit, & easy to fix! Good luck, Rono.
