Hi to everybody.
Some days ago, with the help of "Ken", I had discovered that this monitors
(and many others manufactured by Dell, HP, IBM, Compaq, with the same
"Sony-Trinitron" tube) are affected by a problem, also know as "Overbright"
or "washed colours".
There are two solutions: the first one (that is the solution that I have
adopted this evening) is very simple: changing only a resistor.
The second one, a little more complex, is based on a software and requires a
reflashing of the eeprom of the monitor.
I have tried (because is very simple, and inexpensive, only 10 Eurocents)
the first. I have changed a resistor from 10 Mohm to 6,8 Mohm.

This is the first, simp,e solutions.
Results: good.
The monitor appear with correct colours, black in "black" and not grey
washed. I have some problems with the geometry of the screen and the
convergence..but I think that is a problem of my monitor.
Coming soon: the second solution, based on reflashing of the eeprom.
