Q: My monitor has gone from bright to very dull...  Anybody know why?

All of a sudden my screen went darker and is now very dull.  Does anyone know how to fix this?

    Try recalibrating your screen.

     

    System Preferences>Display>Color

    then click on "calibrate", go through the guided process of recalibrating your screen and you should not be experiencing any more washed out colors. If you do then you might want to have your screen examined at a store.
