Not only that but you may see color shifts. See http://i175.photobucket.com/albums/w146/rproffitt2000/new2old.jpg
You should find that unless you do your own repairs a new display is cheaper.

My SyncMaster 204B is several years old and has lately begun to take longer and longer to come back to full brightness when waking from sleep mode, and also has been flickering while coming to full brightness. Is this an indication that it is dying, or is there a repair for these symptoms that makes sense instead of buying a new monitor?
Thanks!
