Ordered a 4-bulb kit (two pairs) from CCFL Warehouse for one of my Samsung 226BW monitors.
(I accidentally put 223BW in the title... crud)
Got it installed, now the display works. Long ago, I had two of these that were both inop, and I found that one bulb in each monitor was dead, thus creating the standard 2-seconds problem. I swapped the good bulbs from one monitor and put them in the other, creating one good and fully dead one. That second one is the one that I put new bulbs in.
Anyway, it all looks great... Except the lighting isn't perfectly even.
The center of the screen, on a white picture (say - notepad open), has a slightly blown-out, brighter spot. Only on the bottom, I think?
-The only thing I can think that would be in this area is the little "twist tie" thing (bad term) that holds the two bulbs together.
Then on a black screen, there's these lines that run up and down it of just very slightly different in intensity from the next.
I've actually gotten used to it a little, I think. But if I ever decide to find a new owner for this one... that'll be tough.
Pictures attached (had to accentuate the problem in post, a little so that it would show up how I see it with my eyes).
What could cause this? Bulb problem? Not perfect quality? I don't think I could have possibly missed a diffuser when I put it back together... I think I might crack it open soon (day off) and see if there's anything obvious.
