Re: [NTLK] Any solutions for a dull screen?

I have a ump2k and a 130 as well.

In a modestly lit room, the screens compare in contrast, but the 130's
backlight is noticeably brighter/sharper.

I don't know what the usage is on either one - I have both second hand. I'm
guessing, however, that the 2100u has been used more, because the backlight
is supposed to get dimmer with use.

fwiw,
