I've been noticing that my wife's monitor - Viewsonic 19" wide screen LCD - looks a bit washed out (not as sharp as mine, same model), so I tried setting the brightness and contrast on it. That resulted in flickering unless both are maxed. I suppose I could try recalibrating it to see what happens. Am I looking at a potential failure in the near future? The display is 4 or 5 years old. I bought it with her Mini. Any thoughts for a replacement in the 19-22 inch range? LED? Cheap but decent?

Calibrated her monitor this AM and it's looking much better. Still flickers if I back the brightness down any from max. It was using the calibration setting that I did just in April, so I'll probably have to recalibrate again in a couple of months if it lasts that long.

It's getting close to failing. Sometimes, it won't come on when waking from sleep. I can get her a 20" LED for around $129. Not that I can afford that right now.
