Over time, the bringhtness of my old NextStation Mono monitor has dropped  
significantly. It was so slow and imperceptable, that I wouldn't have  
complained if someone else hadden't pointed it out to me.  The monitor is not  
too bright to begin with, but during the course of the day it slowly gets  
dimmer and dimmer. After I log out at the end of the day, and the login window  
screen saver turns off the display overnight, things mysteriously fix  
themselves.  In the morning the monitor appears to be brighter than it was the  
previous afternoon.  During the day, the dimming repeats itself. At first I  
thought it was all in my mind (eyes) but other people have mentioned that this  
is hapening to their old monitors as well.  Hitting the brightness button  
doesn't fix it since it's already at max. 

Anybody else out there with a similar problem?  Can it be corrected by a  
tune-up?
