Display Brightness
This is the 4th post regarding this problem. When new the display could be read across the room. Now it can barely be read on top of it. Seems like it happened all at once a few years ago. The contrast control has nothing to do with brightness. Maybe, I'll be lucky this time around. Some one may have had the same problem and got it solved.
