It occurred to me that many other SM124 owners seems to have problems with their monitor (looking at the news). Well, here's my problem. When ca. 3/4 of the screen is black, i rarely can't read the 1/4 that's white and still on the screen. You know that that will disturb me (especially when I use Minix, which uses a black background, or using programs that are inverting the screen). Has anyone has the same problem, and can it be fixed???? Please help !!!!!!!! Help will be appreciated. Thanks in advance!

++ I recently purchased a 'previously owned' SM124 monochrome monitor. ++ It seems to work quite nicely except for one minor problem. When the ++ display is a black background and there is very little text on the ++ screen, the image is quite dim. As more characters are displayed the ++ image brightens as if the brightness control were being turned up. I've had this on my SM124 from new.
