Problems with Philips monitor!

[darian2hunter]

This problem is really annoying and i could probably fix it if i knew what the issue was called but, when most of the screen is dark, it takes 1 or 2 seconds for the screen to dim down, and when it is something bright, it does the same?

I tried disabling the smart monitor feature but it is still happening can you please help?

Is the monitor new or old? Which model? What is the video source? Is there a GPU? What is the connection cable?

8400 gs, dvi ( the blue one i might be incorrect) I think old and i don't know the model number. It's not on the back.

The "blue" connector is VGA. DVI is usually white.

This sounds pretty old, and the backlight sounds like it is starting to go. Probably due for an upgrade.
