Nope. they want me to deal Monitor Tech direct. Bought it through a friend who works in a computer shop with a good discount.

Call me suspicious but I wonder why they wont deal with Monitor Tech like they should.

May be wrong, but just got a gut feeling somethings not quite "right" with "this good discount" -- Hopefully I'm wrong.

1176056 2011-02-18 05:30:00 I found this a while ago when I was trying to see what's wrong with mine. It's a reset to the factory defaults. It worked with mine, so maybe it'll do the same for you.
Monitor OFF
Hold button 2 down
Press & release power button to power up monitor
Wait for the power button LED to change to amber
Release button 2
Press button 1 for options
Select "F" Factory reset
Everything should be reset to how it leaves the factory

1. What was your monitor's problem, similar to mine?
2. Do I have to turn OFF the computer?
3. Is it the same model? Mine is VX2450wm.
4. If something goes wrong, will it void the warranty?

Cheers

1176058 2011-02-18 07:41:00 4. If something goes wrong, will it void the warranty? Pressing buttons and resetting factory defaults will NOT void a warranty.

What will, is dismantling it.

1176059 2011-02-18 07:47:00 Mine's a different monitor (VX2025) But I assume the reset will still work. All it's doing is resetting all the settings back to the original factory settings. After mine has been running for a while & has warmed up fully & I reboot the computer. The monitor will flick on & off until the end of time. If I pull the plug out the wall, leave it for 30 secs & plug it back in & power it up, all is well until I reboot again. I can't see it voiding any warranty as you're not doing anything physically to the monitor. I was thinking it might sort out your brightness problem. Although if you have it set on one of the presets (RGB Etc) you can't adjust some of the settings. Try it & see if it works Phil B (648)
1176060 2011-02-18 07:48:00 Leave the computer on. What you do with the monitor won't affect the computer Phil B (648)
1176061 2011-02-18 07:54:00 What's the link for pull the plug out of the wall??? Who did that?? No me Phil B (648)
1176062 2011-02-18 08:10:00 Problem is, the buttons (except '1') are not responsive at all.

Anyway I'll give it a go.

1176063 2011-02-18 08:14:00 Tried it just now. There isn't any factory reset option, most likely the '2' button isn't working! bk T (215)
