Here is an old message that addresses the problem:

From: jdavidso@nextwork.rose-hulman.edu (Jeff Davidson)
Newsgroups: comp.sys.next.misc
Subject: NeXT mono monitor service alert (dimming monitors)
Message-ID: <1992Apr24.160700.5451@cs.rose-hulman.edu>

Hi NeXT'ers

Thought I would post this as a public service. I noticed
that some of you are   talking about dimming monitors. I am
the NeXT tech for the college here, and   have the service
bulletin. Here is the straight poop:

They have extended the 1-year warranty on specific mono
monitors to 2 years. What you need to do if your monitor is
dimming is as follows: check the model   and serial number
on the back of the monitor. If it is a Model 4000, the  
applicable serial numbers are: AAA5XXXXXX (Anything
starting with AAA5). If it   is a model N4000A, the
applicable serial numbers are: AAA70000001 thru  
AAA7003200. 

Just contact your nearest NeXT service-type person,
tell him the problem, and   you should get a new monitor when
it becomes available.
