The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Monitor is suddenly dim!  What's going on?

Asked by Kronikle66 in Miscellaneous Hardware, Computer Displays / Monitors

Tags: monitor, dim

I've had this monitor for about 6 or so years. It's been fairly nice to me but about 2 years ago, every time I turned the monitor on, I had to hit the degauss button on the monitor about 10-20 times before the display would show right (if I didn't there'd be a ring of unwanted color around the edges).  That's not the main problem though.

Anyway, I recently replaced my old computer with a new one that I built myself, keeping my old monitor (can't afford a new one). Everything for the first week ran perfectly. Well it's now the second week.  Everything was going fine this morning, but when I turned on my monitor when I got home, the colors were somewhat faded.  The monitor seems dim. Nothing feels like the right tint. I checked my settings (even though I didn't change anything) and reset the defaults. Didn't work. Then I decided toying around with the color settings. Still no go. I could make it look a little better but it still doesn't have the color tint or dimness/brightness like it did this morning. I tried calibrating it with some software. It changed the settings a little but the overall color didn't improve.

I don't know what to do  I DON'T want to buy a new monitor! Are there any solutions, tips, or suggestions out there? This is really bothering me =\ (Kind of strains my eyes when I have to read stuff now)
