Hi,

NOTE : steps below are only for a Dell monitor
There could be two reasons for the same,
1. The monitor settings are bad or
2. The monitor has gone bad.

Request you to disconnect the monitor signal cable from the back of the computer (cable with the blue jack)

A self test feature check would run on the screen. If the screen is bright in the feature check . The monitor has gone bad and needs a replacement.

If the screen appears ok in the self test . Press the menu button on the monitor and select factory reset.

Thanks

    If the color is changing on the different areas of the screen. The screen would have to be replaced.

    Dell generally gives 3 yr. warranty on there flat panel monitor. If you have bought the monitor separately from the computer.


    Thanks

How do I make my kindle fire screen brighter?

Adjusting Screen Brightness The screen on the Kindle Fire uses more power than anything else, and the brighter the screen, the more battery power it uses. To increase battery life, you can lower the brightness of the display.

Brighter display on the left side of monitor than the other side

Sounds like the lcd screen might be going bad. There are no display settings that can modify parts of the screen. It's all or nothing as far as settings go. Have you tried hooking up an external monitor to see if it displays correctly? If it shows correctly on an external monitor the problem is definitely with the lcd screen. If they both show the same image of brightness on the left side, then your video card in the laptop might be going bad.

I have a SyncMaster 225bw, approx 3 years old but havnt used it much in the last year and a half. it started having a problem starting back up it seems. if i can get it to stay "lit up" it will...

Hello,

This type of monitor problem is usually cause by a failure of the capacitors in the power supply board. What is happening is the power supply is not starting up correctly so the back lights are not coming up to full brightness. Here is a link to a repair guide that will show you how to dis-assemble the unit and repair the power supply board. http://www.ccl-la.com/blog/index.php/repairing-the-samsung-225bw-22-monitor/
If you can do a little soldering then you can do the repair yourself.
