Monitor Issues
So what does it mean when a CRT, with the brightness and contrast both set to 100, decides to grow dim and get brighter, randomly, several times, as you're using it? From what I've read in my A+, CRTs aren't a laughing matter, and I'm tempted to shut it off and use Remote Desktop Connection instead, and use the monitor only in emergencies where RDC won't work.
I was doing my A+ Essentials practice exam and it pretty nearly dimmed itself so far, it almost looked like it was off, except I could still just barely see the windows. It's been doing this for a while now, but not with nearly the severity.
Yeah... I'm not going to use it anymore. Which is a bummer. I put IMs on that computer when I'm playing full screen games, so I can still talk to people. Oh well... Guess there's another multi-hundred dollar device I have to buy. Blah.
