Title: Monitor Brightness - newbie questions
Post by: Billythekid on November 17, 2008, 08:54:28 PM
Hello,

I don't know much about monitor repair. I've got two Video slots with dim monitors. One is a GameKing 13", not very bright at all. The other is a Odyssey Monitor, also very dim.  When I play with the contrast and brightness on the Odyssey monitor I can get it looking a little better but the picture gets out of focus.  I was told a new flyback transformer will restore the brightness. Is this true for both of them? Is this all there is to the story?

Thanks!

Steve

Usually the case when you have brightness issues including focus.

Also a dying CRT can be the issue too.  Sometimes it's either or....

CRT rejuvenation can restore some CRT's but it's short lived.

Do a google and you will see many how two's
