This is a forwarded message from: Juha Tuominen

I've seen many NeXT's megapixel displays which have the following problem:
the picture have become dimmer and dimmer. Does anyone know what causes
this and how one can avoid that? The same phenomena have occured in couple
Sun's grayscale monitors as well. As far as I know NeXT's monitors are made
by Philips (or Sony, I'm not sure). What I've heard, NeXT just adds a 
simple board in for NeXT spesific features (microphone etc.).

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.
