| 63792 | 2002-07-20 06:17:00 | I have a Philips 107s moniter, about 4 years old. Everything seems to be dark on it. We have 2 computers, and the screen isnt dark on the other one. I am pretty sure its the moniter, so dont worry about telling me to update craphics card driver, because i have done all that. Can someone please help? |

| 63793 | 2002-07-20 06:29:00 | On your video card on the dark or light machine are you running a colour profile? Check by going Control Panel>Display>Settings>Colour Management Tab Does your monitor reset it's brightness or something.............. |

| 63795 | 2002-07-20 10:58:00 | nah. I keep the brightness at 100%, and games like, Aqua Nox, Need for Speed high stakes, and a couple of other ones, go so dark that I dunno where i am going. I used to have the 107s on a computer with these stats: 333mhz 128mb ram 4mb graphics card windows 95 Everything was dark on that. Now the 107s is on a computer with these stat, and it is still dark: Athlon XP 2000 256 DDR 266 Ram 64mb Geforce 2 MX 400 Wimdows XP Pro As I said, i keep the brightness at 100% Or could it have anything to do with the colour contrast, or any other moniter settings? |

| 63796 | 2002-07-20 11:06:00 | The computer I am using now does NOT have colour managment. Do you think that could be it? My new computer has a new 109s. I THINK it has a colour managment thing, but i cant look right now. ps. the new computer is not dark, its perfect. |

| 63797 | 2002-07-20 12:23:00 | Hi Mej If you have run that monitor at full brilliance for 4 years you may well have cut out the CRT, especially if you leave it running day & night. It is not a good idea to run at full brightness, better to lower your ambient light levels. Those monitors have excellent brightness range so I suggest you check your contrast setting and if that doesn't help it may be getting old before its time. You don't say, but did this problem creep up on you slowly, or did it appear suddenly one day? Cheers Billy 8-{) |

| 63798 | 2002-07-20 13:49:00 | Hi, I found some games were really dark when my boss upgraded to xp. Under 98 they were fine. Mainly older 3d games. I believe its XP. |

| 63799 | 2002-07-21 01:15:00 | I dont really know if the problem crept up on me. None of my computers have color management. Its not XP, because I had the same screen with 95, and it was dark. I havnt had the brightness at 100 for 4 years, only when i noticed stuff was dark and i couldnt see properly. And no, its not my eyes |

| 63801 | 2002-07-21 02:13:00 | the only possible answer right now i guess is that it is too old and has been used to much, you must have worn out the crt. sorry couldn't help much. cheers, v.K--------- :D |
