Well, I finally pulled the trigger and bought a new monitor. It's a Samsung 24" Full HD 1920 x 1080 LCD to replace the 20" monitor I have had for the past five years and is starting to have power supply problems. Setting the monitor up was easy enough, just unpack it, put the base on, connect it to my computer via the DVI cable and go.
I am having a problem getting the display set up and I have run into this in the past. When I first turned the monitor on I had to turn the Brightness way down because it was glaring and straining my eyes. Out of the box the Brightness was set to 92 and I now have it set to 22. I am used to having to fine tune my monitors and my experience was that the LCD monitors needed to be set lower than the CRT monitors but a setting of 22 for the Brightness seems low.
What is everyone else's experience with monitors? Do you find that you need to set the Brightness this low or am I doing something wrong? Any comments will help. Thanks.
